To tackle this issue, they **tweaked the size of the windows** to be a maximum of 1400×900 pixels. + +What this means for you, the end-user, is that you won't need to fiddle with the window sizes manually to get the right fit. + +They also added that: + +> Tor Browser for desktop should no longer trigger responsive break points on larger screens, and the vast majority of our desktop users will see a familiar landscape aspect-ratio more in-keeping with modern browsers. +> +> This particular size was chosen by crunching the numbers to offer greater real estate for new windows without increasing the number of buckets past the point of their usefulness. + +![][8] + +### Updated Homepage + +![][9] + +An update to the homepage on the Tor Browser has been a long time coming. With this release, it now showcases a refreshed logo (more on that below) and **a new feature to “Onionize” DuckDuckGo** for accessing its '.onion site'. + +This also **goes hand-in-hand with the revamped accessibility engine** that I mentioned earlier, allowing better support for users of screen readers and other assistive technology. + +They also fixed the dreaded “ **red screen of death** ” error that would pop up once in a while when opening a new homepage tab. + +### Refreshed Logos + +![][10] + +Since the beginning of the article, you may have noticed something different about Tor Browser's logo. + +Well, the **logos for all the builds of Tor Browser have been refreshed** with a more clean and modern look. + +This familiar “onion logo” has been around for a while now, it was chosen by a community poll back in the day. It's nice to see that they are still putting in efforts to improve it. + +These were just the key highlights of the release, you can go through the [official release notes][11] to explore all the technical fixes and other refinements. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][6] + +## 📥 Download Tor Browser 13.0 + +This release of the Tor browser is available for **Linux** , **Windows** , **Android,** and **macOS**.
