en	Tails is their strongest protection

en	At Tails, we build a liberating operating system that puts people in control of their digital lives.

en	In 2023, Tails touched the lives of approximately 25 000 individuals daily, and will surpass a staggering 10 million uses. Over the years, Tails has become an invaluable ally for those on the front lines of truth-seeking and progressive political advocacy:

en	Investigative journalists have used Tails to securely unearth corruption and wrongdoing, without fear of reprisal. For example, journalists from PODER and Serendipia used Tails to investigate the systematic espionage of feminists and LGBTQIA+ groups by the Mexican army.

en	Activists have used Tails to organize and communicate with each other, even in repressive regimes. For example, reproductive rights activists in Brazil have used Tails to protect their work and personal data from intrusive law enforcement and boyfriends alike.

en	Whistleblowers have used Tails to expose wrongdoing without compromising their identities or endangering their sources. For example, Edward Snowden and his collaborators used Tails to expose the massive global surveillance programs orchestrated by the NSA and the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

en	Tails is non-profit, and runs on a relatively small budget. We have punched above our weight thanks to your support, and we continue to need your support every year.

en	By donating to Tails, you can help us to continue developing and improving Tails, and to make it more accessible to people who need it most.

en	Supporting more cryptocurrencies implies more work for us: learning how they work, installing the software in a secure place, monitoring their value and trading them, etc.

en	To make a good use of our time, we focus on the cryptocurrencies that are the easiest for us to accept and the most popular.

en	Until now, cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero represent less than 1% of our donations in cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, we had to stop accepting Ethereum. We want to see other cryptocurrencies gain real popularity before spending more time on them.

en	Releases, maintenance, and infrastructure

en	New features and major improvements

en	(26%)

en	In 2022, we restructured the installation instructions, fixed many usability issues in the Tor Connection assistant, and redesigned the Persistent Storage.

en	User experience, documentation, and support

en	Administration and fundraising

en	(17%)

en	We make the most of the money that we receive because we prefer spending our time improving Tails for our users.
