That is because of search engines, but also because we say "Documentation," but most of the docs there live in the Support portal and Community portal.
As the main team plan was to replace it with a new developer portal (See: tpo/web/dev), I would like to track the minimal work we need to do to remove that website from the header once for all.
### Tasks

It's a sloppy mess. Please align them by spacing them out or putting them in a column or list of APK and Sig pairs.
There also isn't a link or a question mark icon by the Android Sig buttons like there is up above by the Windows download where people can find out what the heck a sig is. Add a link.
Finally, that link to Onion Browser for iOS is wayyyy too small and far from the other buttons for people to notice it. Enlarge it and move it closer to the buttons, or add a big header like the giant one for Android, "Get Tor Browser for Android."https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/tpo/-/issues/170Create canonical links to the latest versions of Tor Browser2021-09-15T19:58:23ZBarkin SimsekCreate canonical links to the latest versions of Tor BrowserHi,

Currently, I'm parsing https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/ to figure out the latest release of Tor Browser, but it would be really nice to have canonical links to the latest versions of Tor Browsers.
Here are some link ideas:
- https://www.torproject.org/download/latest (this link can do tricks and redirect based on the user agent)
- https://www.torproject.org/download/latest/linux64
- https://www.torproject.org/download/latest/osx64
- https://www.torproject.org/download/latest/win64
I think these links should redirect to the usual download URLs (like https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/10.0.15/tor-browser-linux64-10.0.15_en-US.tar.xz) instead of directly serving the files.
One thing I couldn't figure out is adding the language option. Here I just assumed that the default language is `en-US`. Maybe language can be added at the end of the URL (like https://www.torproject.org/download/latest/linux64/en-US) as an optional variable.
_Note: Turns out there is already a link to get list of latest release files, but I think that link is very obscure: https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/downloads.json_https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/tpo/-/issues/169Create and add metadescription for /download/2023-08-15T18:00:15ZdonutsCreate and add metadescription for /download/As reported in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/research/-/issues/32 search engine crawlers appear to be grabbing random strings of text to populate the description for /download/ in SERPs, which is resulting in some random/confusing...As reported in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/research/-/issues/32 search engine crawlers appear to be grabbing random strings of text to populate the description for /download/ in SERPs, which is resulting in some random/confusing copy. We should write an appropriate metadescription and add the corresponding tag to the page – e.g.:
`<meta name="description" content="This is an example of a meta description. This will often show up in search results.">`
We may also consider amending the metatitle to expllicitly mention Tor Browser too, e.g. from `Tor Project | Download` to `Download Tor Browser | Tor Project` (other suggestions welcome!).donutsdonuts2024-01-12https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/tpo/-/issues/161Link to iOS FAQ from the Download page2021-09-15T19:25:31ZRotationMatrixLink to iOS FAQ from the Download pageCould we link to the [iOS FAQ](https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/) from https://www.torproject.org/download/?

But:
* (1) The thing that you can download from this /tor/ page is the source code for the tor proxy, whereas the Tor download page gives you Tor Browser and implies that it's Tor, so if I wanted to download the source code for the Tor that I can get on the download page, I'd expect to be getting the Tor Browser source code.
* (2) We're shipping compiled Windows "expert mode Tor" binaries from this page too, which is a surprising place to find them since the label says 'source code'.
One option would be to put Tor Browser source code onto that page too, and make a new page which has the Windows expert mode packages. But I bet the UX people don't want to complicate the download page with even more links, and that makes sense.
Another option would be to make a more comprehensive "alternate downloads" page, which includes source code pointers (both Tor Browser and Tor) plus alternative Tor Browser builds (like the expert bundle) plus also pointers to our deb page and rpm page, and maybe even pointers to other Tor things that you might want to download (nyx? Guardian Project things?).
Maybe this bigger page is something we imagined for one of the sub websites like dev.tpo, and we could just link to it from here? Or maybe we do want a central page on the main website to tell people how else to download Tor things?Sponsor 9 - Phase 7 - Usability and Community Intervention on Support for Democracy and Human Rightsdonutsdonutshttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/tpo/-/issues/122Website feedback - how to support Tor2022-05-11T20:35:45ZGusWebsite feedback - how to support TorA user joined #tor-ux channel and gave this feedback:

For example: if you're a Linux user, Firefox website is going to suggest you to download Firefox for Linux when you click on "Download". This also happens on Brave and Google Chrome websites.
I'd like to have something similar for Tor Browser, so we can test and see if we can increase the download of Tor Browser in different languages.
Expectation:
For Desktop users, when they click on "Download Tor Browser" in torproject.org, they will be redirected to http://torproject.org/download and a Tor Browser with their locale + Operating System + OS arch (32-bit or 64-bit) will pop-up to download. If their locale is not available, it will download the standard English version. Users can cancel the download, and select which browser version they want to download.Sponsor 9 - Phase 7 - Usability and Community Intervention on Support for Democracy and Human Rightsdonutsdonuts2024-01-12https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/tpo/-/issues/87Windows option on the download page defaults to 64 bit2023-08-15T19:00:08ZGusWindows option on the download page defaults to 64 bitFrom the TPO site.

Instead of navigating to the website from Firefox, downloading the tarball in /download, and extracting it with the Archive Manager, it would be so much simpler to do something like this from the terminal:
```
wget https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/latest/tor-browser_en-US.tar.xz -O - | tar xz
```
This is not possible right now, because the URL for the latest Tor Browser on the website is tied to a specific version. If the Tor installation is added to a script, the script will be outdated as soon as a new version comes out.
Could we create a permanent URL for the latest stable version of Tor Browser? Since installing variants of Tor Browser via package managers is discouraged, it would be nice to make a scripted installation process a bit simpler.

I had noticed that on the download page there are some issues with content displaying inappropriately on smaller screen sizes. The circular download logo button sections for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android are overlapping each other for various reasons, on various screen sizes. I have reworked the code to make this section display appropriately for all mobile screen sizes.
Here is my solution (NOTE: I will refer to the page source code lines (view-source:https://www.torproject.org/download/) for your reference.):
* [ ] 1. Space the circular download button sections evenly widthwise by adding the Class "mx-auto" to <div class="oval-2 bg-darker"> on the following lines: 120, 141, 162.
* [ ] 2. Remove the "py-3" Class from class="col-sm-6 col-md-3 py-3" on the following lines: 119, 140, 161, 182
The reason for removing the Class "py-3" is because if the padding values associated with this class are edited it changes the padding on the download link text section which uses the same Class below the circular download buttons section. Removing this Class from the mentioned lines doesn't remove any "needed" CSS.
* [ ] 3. For fixing the spacing issues between the 4 circular download buttons add {padding: 2em 1em 5em 1em;} as an inline style to the divs on the following lines: 119, 140, 161, 182
* [ ] 4. For styling the space around the download text links section remove the Class p-5 from <div class="row p-5"> and add {padding: 1em 3em 0 3em !important;} as an inline style to the <div> on line 192.

* [ ] 5. For fixing the overlapping rectangular buttons (Download for Windows, Download for OS X, etc...) in the circular downloads buttons section, an easy fix, I found is removing the word "for" from the button which will shorten the width of the button so that it doesn't overlap the button next to it. To make the text read nicer, reverse the word "Download" with the manufacture name (Windows). - For example instead of using the existing text "Download for Windows" do, "Windows Download".
