 > Clicking on the link and open it in a default browser may be dangerous
 for some users.... It will let an adversary know that the user is trying
 to access torproject.org through their internet traffic, or leave a
 browser history

 This should be written above or below the text-link itself to warn users
 before they copy it. Or hide the link behind an "I'll be careful" or "I
 accept the risk" button like how Firefox does it on its about:config page.
