Wayland and better Unsafe Browser

QR code scanning of Tor bridges

We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.

To get a QR code, you can either:

Send an empty email to <bridges@torproject.org> from a Gmail or Riseup email address.

Get bridges from <https://bridges.torproject.org/> and print the QR code on paper.

We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are [working with Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgedb/-/issues/40052) to make them smaller and easier to scan.

<h2 id="qt">Problems with Qt applications like <i>Kleopatra</i> and <i>Feather</i></h2>

Applications using the Qt toolkit have issues in Wayland. You can work around these issues by running these applications using XWayland instead.

Clipboard encryption and decryption is broken in *Kleopatra* ([[!tails_ticket 19329]])

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM & kleopatra &

This only works if *Kleopatra* has never been started since Tails started.
Otherwise, execute this command and try again:

killall kleopatra

<p class="pre command">unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM ; ./<span class="command-placeholder">application.AppImage</span></p>

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM ; ./feather-2.1.2.AppImage
