Replying to [ticket:32114 mwolfe]:
> On Macintosh, Tor goes in the Applications directory and writes data to
user/Library and other places.
Tor Browser on macOS should not store any data outside of its `TorBrowser-
Data` directory (it it does, that is a bug we should fix). That is another
way of saying that the macOS info on the following page is correct: https
://tb-manual.torproject.org/uninstalling/
As implied by the "uninstalling" instructions, you can place `Tor
Browser.app` in any folder; it does not need to be installed in
`/Applications`. If you place the app in its own folder, e.g., in
`~/Desktop/tb-alpha/`, all of its associated data will be placed in a
`TorBrowser-Data` folder next to `Tor Browser.app`. This approach of using
separate folders is highly recommended when switching between the stable
releases and alpha releases.
