In addition, the tabs make OnionShare connect much faster to the Tor network, especially if you’re using a bridge, and better support for persistent services. Tabs can be saved and you can open as many as you want. Previous version of OnionShare only allowed you to do one thing, whether it was sharing files or hosting a website, but now you can do them all at once, including chatting anonymously.

“For example, a whistleblower can send an OnionShare address to a journalist using a disposable e-mail address, and then wait for the journalist to join the chat room, all without compromising their anonymity.,” explains developer Micah Lee.Īnother cool new feature in OnionShare 2.3 is an all new design featuring tabs, which enables you to do multiple tasks simultaneously in the app. And secondly, you don’t have to create an account to use the OnionShare chat room, so your email address isn’t exposed to hackers or spammers. For starters, nothing is logged when you’re anonymously chatting in an OnionShare chat room, and your messages aren’t stored anywhere. The anonymous chat feature is so securely implemented that it leaves almost no traces.

More than a year in the works, OnionShare 2.3 is finally here as the next major update to this awesome tool for anonymously sharing files or hosting websites as an onion service, and now also for anonymously chatting with friends or family, thanks to the end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) OnionShare chat room feature. OnionShare, the open-source and cross-platform tool for securely and anonymously sharing files, hosting websites over the Tor network, has been updated to version 2.3, a major release with new features and improvements.
