 for setting Tor Browser as your default browser.]  [[BR]]

 read the following confirmation in Tor Browser:  [[BR]]

 your default browser`

Comment (by emmapeel):

 OK, I have corrected the outdated information, with

 But I am not sure we should encourage users to set up TBB as their default
 browser. Also, a macOS user should check the instructions
