But smart users don't *know* that that's all it's doing. We should a) make it clearer in the installer text itself that TBB remains self-contained in just the directory they specify, and b) make it clearer on the download webpage when they're fetching it.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tbb-windows-installer/-/issues/11262Windows installer should warn when user selects a system folder2022-08-15T21:55:04ZLunarWindows installer should warn when user selects a system folderThe Tor Browser is meant to be run from a user-writable folder.
