    Version 1.2.0 of the Internet censorship circumvention software alkasir has been launched today and is currently accessible directly on the web at https://alkasir.com. The new version, according to its developer Walid Al-Saqaf, has numerous new features compared to the first version originally released a year ago. Among the most notable new features is its multilingual interface (Arabic/English) as well as its built-in browser, which can be used most effectively to open blocked websites. “It is based on the Mozilla Gecko engine and is hence expected to open most websites without much trouble,” Al-Saqaf said.
