<p><em>Guest post by Tobias Höller</em></p>
+
+ <p>With
the <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline";
rel="noopener" target="_blank">deprecation</a> of v2 onion services right
around the corner, it is a good time to talk about v3 onion services and their
current adoption. Thanks to the privacy improvements of v3 onion services, they
leak much less sensitive information when compared to v2 onion services.
However, these changes do not completely stop the hidden service directory from
revealing interesting metadata about their usage so far.</p>
+
+ <p>The
results <a href="https://doi.org/10.1145/3473604.3474565"; rel="noopener"
target="_blank"><em>On the state of V3 onion services</em> (by T. Hoeller, M.
Roland, R. Mayrhofer)</a> give a first good estimate on the total number of v3
onion services, and show that the number of deployed v3 onion services has been
on the rise throughout 2021. So if you still operate only a v2 onion service,
now would be a great time to get on board and upgrade to v3.</p>

+## Tor Browser 11 will end support for v2 onion services
+https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline
+
+As we announced last year, when Tor Browser 11 stable moves to Tor 0.4.6.x in
October 2021, v2 onion addresses will be completely unreachable via Tor Browser.
+
+If you are a Tor Browser user, you do not need to take any action, download
any new software, or otherwise make changes to how you use Tor Browser. Once
you upgrade to Tor Browser 11 stable, when you attempt to visit an onion site
with a v2 onion address, you will see an error message. It is the
responsibility of onion site administrators to upgrade their sites to the
correct version of onion services.
