Description-en: helps download and run the Tor Browser Bundle
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.
.
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.
