3 Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to maintain and use for GNU/Linux users. You install ```torbrowser-launcher``` from your distribution's package manager and it handles everything else, including:
5 * Downloading the most recent version of TBB for you, in your language and for your architecture
6 * Automatically updating (while preserving your bookmarks and preferences)
7 * Verifying the TBB's [GnuPG signature](http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x135.html)
8 * Includes AppArmor profiles to make a Tor Browser compromise not as bad
9 * Adding a "Tor Browser" application launcher to your desktop environment's menu, and letting you set Tor Browser as your default browser
10 * Optionally playing a modem sound when you open Tor Browser (because Tor is so slow)
12 Tor Browser Launcher is included in Ubuntu 14.10+, Debian 8+, and Fedora 20+. To install it in any other distribution, see the [build instructions](/BUILD.md).
14 You might want to check out the [security design doc](/security_design.md).
