### Latest versions for software
One nice macro should give, in a string, the last Tor Browser version, for example in the string: `tor-browser-linux64-10.0.14_zh-CN.tar.xz` it will be `10.0.14`.
So, we could write 'download Tor Browser i.e. tor-browser-linux64-[!latest_tbb]_zh-CN.tar.xz' or 'Are you using the current Tor Browser ([!latest_tbb])?'.
The most clever thing will be to take this information from the corresponding databags (https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/tpo.git/tree/databags/ ) so we dont risk to become outdated, and we dont add more tasks to the release process.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/101Update Mobile Tor page to include Snowflake2021-08-06T13:02:57ZGusUpdate Mobile Tor page to include SnowflakeAs Snowflake is now in TBA stable, we will need to update Mobile Tor page:

I was going through the tb-user manual, and on the front page, i.e., https://tb-manual.torproject.org/ - I observed a pattern that: the purple text is the title of the link, and the grey text is a small description of the title. This facilitates the user to understand the linked article in brief( I suppose)
Under the link "Known Issues", the description is also "Known issues", which I felt was a little ambiguous. So, I propose we tweak this description a little bit.
It could be like: " Known privacy issues while using Tor Browser"; this should be open to discussion.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/90Having a Search Feature for the Tor Project website2022-10-11T13:42:34ZIK_11Having a Search Feature for the Tor Project websiteI feel that it will be helpful for users to navigate through the website if there is a search feature built within the site, especially for

But, thinking about users living in countries that are blocking the torproject.org main domain, they can't access this documentation. Since Lektor is a static generator site, it's possible to host this documentation on gitlab.com, which isn't censored (in most cases).

We need to update our instructions on Tor Browser User Manual to make it more clear how they can launch Tor Browser.
```
You'll need to tell your GNU/Linux that you want the ability to execute shell scripts from the graphical interface or the command line. Navigate to the newly extracted Tor Browser directory. Right click on start-tor-browser.desktop, open Properties or Preferences and change the permission to allow executing file as program. Double-click the icon to start up Tor Browser for the first time.
Note: On Ubuntu and some other distros if you try to launch the start-tor-browser.desktop file a text file might open up. To change this behavior and launch Tor Browser instead, follow this: Open "Files" (GNOME Files/Nautilus) → open Preferences → go to the 'Behavior' Tab → Select "Run them" or "Ask what to do" under "Executable Text Files". If you choose the latter click on "Run" after launching the start-tor-browser.desktop file.
```

Also, on the Torproject Twitter channel, the availability of browser extensions for brave, firefox, and chrome is stated and a link for installation, I think this should also be added to the Tor manual under the /installation section or a new section (I would suggest) /browser-extensions be created and this information added. This would also be helpful to our users using the manual as it is a valid reference point for the Tor Project.
This image shows the tweet regarding the browser extensions
