A small bug in new installer: sources.list is having our source list which should be in sources.list.d/parrot.list. Both are having the same data.

@dmknght - The 4.8.1 ISO didn’t have NoScript, Ublock Orgin, and Privacy Badger preinstalled in Firefox. I’m unable to try out the beta 4.9 ISO at the moment, has this been addressed?

Lastly, I want to say how happy I am to see this system and community grow and mature since I started using it in 2015. It’s gotten better and more polished since the days of “hacker neon” everywhere. :slight_smile:

Beta 2 release is here

Let me test the script problem. I confirmed the plugins had problem before on my machine after an update and we have to fix it
