Description:
C: <p>Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to maintain and use
for GNU/Linux users. torbrowser-launcher handles downloading the most recent version of TBB for you,
in your language and for your architecture. It also adds a "Tor Browser" application launcher to your
operating system's menu.</p><p>When you first launch Tor Browser Launcher, it will download TBB from
https://www.torproject.org/ and extract it to ~/.local/share/torbrowser, and then execute it. Cache
and configuration files will be stored in ~/.cache/torbrowser and ~/.config/torbrowser. Each subsequent
execution after installation will simply launch the most recent TBB, which is updated using Tor Browser's
own update feature.</p>

Description:
C: <p>Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to maintain and use
for GNU/Linux users. It downloads the same TBB from torproject.org that everyone else uses, and it
doesn't alter it in any way. But it does make it much more usable, and it makes the task of keeping
it up-to-date more secure.</p><p>You install torbrowser-launcher from your distribution's package
manager and it handles everything else, including:</p><ul><li>Downloading the most recent version
of TBB for you, in your language and for your architecture</li><li>Automatically updating (while preserving
your bookmarks and preferences)</li><li>Verifying the TBB's GnuPG signature</li><li>Includes AppArmor
profiles to make a Tor Browser compromise not as bad (in some distros)</li><li>Adding a Tor Browser
application launcher to your desktop environment's menu</li><li>Lets you set Tor Browser as your default
browser</li><li>Optionally playing a modem sound when you open Tor Browser (because Tor is so slow)</li></ul>
