Figure out how to keep multiple release channels installed on MacOS
By default, each Tor Browser release channel has the same app name. This makes it challenging to keep multiple versions installed in MacOS' applications folder.
Other browsers use distinct app names based on their release channel, e.g.
Firefox:
- Firefox
- Firefox Beta
- Firefox Nightly
Chrome:
- Google Chrome
- Google Chrome Beta
- Google Chrome Canary
Brave:
- Brave Browser
- Brave Browser Beta
- Brave Browser Nightly
So I have two questions:
- What's a short-term workaround that allows me to keep multiple release channels installed with different library files (e.g. TorBrowser-Data folders), other than renaming the app manually, which seems to break things?
- Would renaming each release channel to Tor Browser; Tor Browser Alpha and Tor Browser Nightly fix this problem in the long term?
