 https://www.torproject.org/releases/tor-browser-95 directly? (without
 showing the "subview" on the right). It seems to me the last step of
 clicking `See What's New` is a bit redundant, and maybe we could save some
 design/strings.

 Hrmmmm. That would be relatively easy. In that case, we move all important
 onboarding information to the webpage.

 I'm a little torn right now because the onboarding experience provides a
 nice tutorial for new users. But we can sacrifice that aspect of
 onboarding for both 1) simplicity, and 2) we'll need to reimplement all of
 this for 78esr anyway.
