Tor

 Priority:  major      |   Milestone:       
Component:  Tor Check  |     Version:

 Right now, when accessed through Tor, [https://check.torproject.org/
 check.torproject.org] tells users “Congratulations. You are using Tor.”.
 This message really means that the browser that is displaying the message
 is using Tor; it does not mean that other programs on the user's computer
 are using Tor.

 It would be more correct to tell users “Congratulations. This browser is
 configured to use Tor.”.
