Tor Browser 8.0.4 contains updates to Tor (0.3.4.9 [5]), OpenSSL (1.0.2q)
and other bundle components. Additionally, we backported a number of
patches from our alpha series where they got some baking time. The most
important ones are

- a defense against protocol handler enumeration which should enhance
our fingerprinting resistance,
- enabling Stylo for macOS users by bypassing a reproducibility issue
caused by Rust compilation and
- setting back the sandboxing level to 5 on Windows (the Firefox default),
after working around some Tor Launcher interference causing a broken
Tor Browser experience.
Moreover, we ship an updated donation banner for our year-end donation
campaign.
