[tbb-dev] How much the Tor Browser is still a Bundle?

that might be true. Nevertheless, it is not just a browser we are
shipping. We also ship tor and there are pluggable transports coming.

Yes, they are only interacting with Tor Browser (which is good) which is
part of the bundle (containing additionally tor and the pluggable
transports as said above).

I'd say "no" as the Tor Browser is not connecting to the Tor network but
rather (presumably) to your local running tor. Maybe omitting "Tor
Browser Bundle" and rewording the whole sentence properly might be a
better solution, don't know.

Why not reading it as "Settings to connect to the Tor network". If you
read it literally, like "Settings of the Tor Network" then, yes, it does
not make much sense.
