> INTRODUCTION:
>
> These tests were performed using Tails 4.10 and 4.11~rc1. Both operating systems ran from a USB flash drive on a 64-bit PC computer with password-protected Secure Boot enabled. The computer was plugged into a power source the whole time, and never ran on battery.
>
> All internet connections were established using 2.4 GHz 802.11 ("Wi-Fi") with WPA2 AES-PSK encryption.
>
> In general, 4.11~rc1 performs as well as 4.10. It boots, displays the correct version, runs Tor, the Tor Browser, the Unsafe Browser, and other applications without producing errors.
>
> The new persistent settings on the Welcome Screen function fine, as does persistence of other data.
>
> The main problem we discovered is that the Tor Browser 10.0a6 in Tails 4.11~rc1 is much more likely to produce a Cloudflare captcha request when attempting to access a website than its predecessor, Tor Browser 9.5.4 in Tails 4.10.

> ACQUISITION:
>
> All files relevant to the installation of Tails 4.11~rc1 were downloaded using the Tor Browser 9.5.4 running on Tails 4.10. However, the Tails signing key and signatures were downloaded a second time using the "wget" command in the terminal, then, the checksums of the respective pairs were compared. All were identical.

> VERIFICATION:
>
> Verification of the Tails 4.11~rc1 installation media using either the terminal or Seahorse-tool integrated into Nautilus ("Files") both succeeded.
>
> The only small problem was a grammatical error in the part of the notification the Seahorse-tool produced which reads "Valid but untrusted signature by on 2020-09-07." The "by" should be removed. This error occurred verifying both the USB and ISO images.

> INSTALLATION:
>
> Tails 4.11~rc1 was installed from Tails 4.10 to a USB drive using its USB image file and the "Restore Disk Image" function of Gnome Disks. This technique is described on the "Install from Linux" page of the Tails documentation. [1]
>
> The installation took about two minutes to complete. After it was done Gnome Disks showed two partitions: "TAILS Partition 1: Tails 1.2 GB FAT" and "Free Space 63 GB."
>
> This is some of the information that was displayed by Gnome Disks when the "TAILS Partition 1: Tails 1.2 GB FAT" partition was selected:
> Partitioning: GUID Partition Table
> Size: 1.2 GB (1,241,513,984 bytes)
> Device: /dev/sdc1
> UUID: /dev/sdc1
> Partition Type: EFI System (System, Legacy BIOS Bootable, Read-only, Hidden, No Automount)
> Contents: FAT (32-bit version) - Not Mounted

> Version: 0.4.3.6-1~d10.buster+1

> The first line of terminal output for the "tor" command read "Tor 0.4.3.6 running on Linux with Libevent 2.1.8-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma 5.2.4, and Libzstd 1.3.8."

> This is the Tor Browser version bundled with Tails 4.10:
> 9.5.4 (based on Mozilla Firefox 68.12.0esr) (64-bit)
>
> This is the Tor Browser version bundled with Tails 4.11~rc1:
> 10.0a6 (based on Mozilla Firefox 78.2.0esr) (64-bit)
>
> We encountered these four problems testing Tor Browser 10.0a6 running on Tails 4.11~rc1:
>
> 1. We visited multiple unrelated websites over the course of several days using both the Tor Browser 10.0a6 and Tor Browser 9.5.4. The same sites which never produced a Cloudflare captcha request on Tor Browser 9.5.4 always did responding to Tor Browser 10.0a6. Using "New Identity" or "New Tor Circuit for this Site" made no difference.
> We consider this a serious problem effecting both the functionality and adoption of the Tor Browser and Tails.
>
> 2. Some embedded content which loaded automatically using Tor Browser 9.5.4 produced the following notice with Tor Browser 10.0a6:
>
> "Tor Browser Can't Open This Page
> To protect your security, [URL] will not allow Tor Browser to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."
>
> Then clicking "Open Site in New Window" opened a Cloudflare-protected link which rendered content without user intervention in a few seconds.
>
> 3. When we visited the internet utility website Arul John [2] the initial Tor Browser 10.0a6 resolution and size displayed was 640x480, but that quickly changed to either 998x499 or 999x500 even though the page hadn't been reloaded. The resolution and size given for Tor Browser 9.5.4 was a static 1000x700. This maybe a bug with the website or the Tor Browser 10.0a6.
> 4. After loading the JonDonym website using Tor Browser 10.0a6 it showed "Warning: Your IP address is neither anonymized by JonDonym nor by Tor." [3] However, the Tor Project's Tor Check site showed "Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor." [4] Finally, visiting the JonDonym website using Tor Browser 9.5.4 showed "You are using Tor," as did the Tor Check site. This maybe a problem with the JonDonym website rather than the Tor Browser.
>
> The following is a list of other test results and observations from Tor Browser 10.0a6 running on Tails 4.11~rc1:
>
> 1. All websites visited using onion ("hidden") services functioned.
> 2. An html file of bookmarks exported from Tor Browser 9.5.4 was imported into Tor Browser 10.0a6 without problems.
> 3. The homepage was changed from "Welcome to Tails!" to "Trying a testing version of Tails." [5]
> 4. Video-streaming websites worked.
> 5. Internet speed tests results showed Tor Browser 10.0a6 was roughly 20-40% faster than Tor Browser 9.5.4
> 6. The uBlock icon was visible. When visiting websites ads weren't displayed and the uBlock icon showed "a strictly positive number of blocked elements."
> 7. Samy Kamkar's evercookie [6] didn't persist once "New Identity" was used with uBlock disabled.
>
> The created cookie showed:

> 8. An extended DNS test showed no leakage. [7]

> 10. https://net.ipcalf.com displayed:

>
> 11. Using the root terminal "apt" or "apropos" commands didn't show anything about the tor-browser package, which the terminal showed as present with the double-tab or "which" commands:
>

> 14. When online the "Tails documentation" desktop launcher opened the Tails Documentation website in the Tor Browser. [9] When offline the same launcher opened a copy of the entire Tails website, whose internal links worked well. [10]
> 15. The "systemctl --failed --all" command showed "0 loaded units listed" using either the root or standard terminal:
>
> amnesia@amnesia:~$ systemctl --failed --all
> 0 loaded units listed.
> To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

>
> - - The problems listed on the Tails Gitlab persist [11].
> - - French is the most localized, followed by Chinese, then, Korean.
> - - In all instances DuckDuckGo was the default, pre-selected search plugin.

> 10. After turning on then off the "Settings > Universal Access > High Contrast" option the Trash icon on the desktop remained in black-and-white high contrast mode. Turning "High Contrast" on and off again failed to get it back to normal, but, did cause Gedit and Nautilus "Files" to freeze for thirty seconds each.
