Comment (by ggus):

 >if so we should write it down explicitly, along with some intuitions for
 why it's dangerous so people will understand why.

 We have an item in Support portal explaining that people should not do
 that:
 https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-32/

 But, in Tor Browser 8.5 we have an option in Preferences saying:

 {{{
 [ ] Always check if Tor Browser is your default browser
 :( Tor Browser is not your default browser.
 }}}
