Privacy Browser PC is currently an alpha release. Users are encouraged to read the Handbook (press F1 inside the program). As described in the roadmap, it is currently missing some important features, but it is provided for download as some features are already usable and testing and feedback is appreciated.
Privacy Browser is part of Debian and other Linux distributions. Direct downloads are also provided below or you can browse the release directory. These files are signed by my GPG key: Soren Stoutner <soren@stoutner.com> 24A5 4DDB 2354 6679 5CA8 E23E C2E7 CB27 AEB0 B603.
