New description:

 The user manual is excellent at describing how to use Tor Browser, but it
 could do with more explanation on the first page of the privacy and
 security features of Tor Browser, or how Tor Browser is different from
 other browsers.

 Things we could consider include:
 * A clearer definition of fingerprinting protection
 * First-party isolation (in lay terms)
 * Disk avoidance
 * Hardening/sandboxing
 * Proxy enforcement

 All this should be kept super simple and brief! But right now the
 description is incomplete, I would say.

 Also, in the Security Slider section, we should explain why users would
 use it, what protections we are trying to provide, and what the tradeoffs
 are.
