Tails removed .iso download links from their site because they thought their users were too stupid to verify a gpg signature.
They replaced it with a browser extension that downloads it and does the verification for you (It tests a SHA256 hash of the binary which it downloads from the browser extension authors site instead of doing a gpg web of trust verification).
The author of the extension itself is Giorgio Maone who "is sorry for inserting obfuscated malware into NoScript, which let ads/scripts pass through tens of thousands of its users filters" and promises he wont do it again: https://archive.is/HFYjp https://adblockplus.org/blog/attention-noscript-users
Why is tails punishing its users (just because some people didn't bother to check a gpg sig)?
Why did they hire such an untrustworthy person for the job?
Why are they encouraging users to allow them code execution instead of just providing the .iso as a normal link? The alternative is to download it with bittorrent which exposes your IP to the swarm.
Great move for enforcing sane verifying. NoScript has been in use in with TBB and Tails so if you are not trusting Maone, you can't trust Tails and you should stop there anyway.

Why can't they use something normal like SHA-1?

Holy shit, why do people still use ABP or NoScript?
uBlock Origin and uMatrix all the way. None of these corporate backdoors and advertising for me.

Spoof user agent.
It will let you dl then. downloaded yesterday without problems.

Yeah, expose your IP to three letter agencies.

this is what happens when you make software that relies on begging to survive.
Fucking buy some proprietary software you fagget cheap fucks.

bad timing on my part, this is not a joke
you can verify it by downloading the ext. renaming it to .zip, unzipping it and inspecting the manifest files.
Isn't this better?
This way you will have to use torrent if you want the ISO.
