Comment (by arma):

 1) Is the Tor Browser that Whonix wants to ship modified in any way from
 the Tor Browser that you get from the Tor website? For example, does it
 add Flash support to Tor Browser?

 2) Is the Tor Browser in Whonix used in a different way or different
 context than Tor Browser usually is? For example, does it maintain the
 "stream isolation by tab" feature?

 I ask because we want to make sure people don't call stuff "Tor" if they
 then use it in a context where you don't get the properties that Tor + Tor
 Browser provide.

 (For example, imagine somebody wanted to grab Tor Browser, and remove Tor
 from it, and still call it Tor Browser. That would be bad. But it doesn't
 look like this is that situation.)
