 I'm glad to hear that Rasislav, I really am. However, take care when using
 this test build. There were a few critical security fixes recently pushed
 out to Tor Browser and I do not know if these test builds have them. I
 would recommend holding off on using them until I can verify they are
 fully up to date.
