And clarifying that:

"However, in the Tor Browser Web Browser, its creators have managed to simplify everything, designing a solid and robust application (package) in a comprehensive way, that is, with everything necessary to work immediately in any distribution. And using the best and most recent versions of Mozilla Firefox, in order to take advantage of the technical facilities of one of the best Web Browsers in the Free World."
