+Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser easier to install and use for GNU/Linux users. You install ```torbrowser-launcher``` from your distribution's package manager and it handles everything else:
 
-* Downloading the most recent version of TBB for you, in your language and for your architecture
-* Automatically updating (not preserving your bookmarks and preferences)
-* Verifying the TBB's [GnuPG signature](http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x135.html)
+* Downloads the most recent version of Tor Browser in your language and for your computer's architecture (Tor Browser will automatically update itself)
+* Certificate pins to https://www.torproject.org, so it doesn't rely on certificate authorities
+* Verifies Tor Browser's [OpenPGP signature](https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en) for you, to ensure the version you downloaded is not tampered with
+* Adds "Tor Browser" and "Tor Browser Launcher Settings" application launcher to your desktop environment's menu
 * Includes AppArmor profiles to make a Tor Browser compromise not as bad
-* Adding a "Tor Browser" application launcher to your desktop environment's menu
 * Optionally playing a modem sound when you open Tor Browser (because Tor is so slow)

-## Using Tor Browser as your default browser, and Firefox
+# Installing in Ubuntu
 
-Tor Browser Launcher allows you to set Tor Browser as your default web browser. Unfortunately, there's a gnarly issue that prevents this from working if Firefox is open in the background. If Tor Browser is set as your default browser and Firefox is open in the background, links will get opened in Firefox. Likewise, if Firefox is your default browser and Tor Browser is open in the background, links will get opened in Tor Browser. See more information [here](https://github.com/micahflee/to [...]

-You can only use Tor Browser as your default browser if you don't use Firefox at the same time. Other browser (such as Iceweasel, Chromium, or Chrome) will work fine. You must check "Allow opening links with Tor Browser" in the settings to enable it.

-## Installing in Ubuntu 14.04 and later

-I've created a PPA where I'm maintaining torbrowser-launcher binaries. You can install in an Ubuntu-based distribution like this:
