-        This is a version of TorBrowser with bundle-related patches
-        reverted.
-
-        I.e. it's a variant of Firefox with less fingerprinting and
-        some isolation features you can't get with any extensions.
-
-        Or, alternatively, a variant of TorBrowser that works like any
-        other UNIX program and doesn't expect you to run it from a
-        bundle.
-
-        It will use your default Firefox profile if you're not careful
-        even! Be careful!
-
-        It will clash with firefox binary if you install both. But it
-        should not be a problem because you should run browsers in
-        separate users/VMs anyway.
-
-        Create new profile by starting it as
-
-        $ firefox -ProfileManager
-
-        and then configure it to use your tor instance.
-
-        Or just use `tor-browser-bundle` package that packs this
-        `tor-browser` back into a sanely-built bundle.
