The advantage of using the tor browser instead just routing the traffic via tor is that it is pre-configured to make user a lot more anonymous than using an existing browser with default settings. Configuring the browser yourself this way would be a lot of work and you would probably miss many important settings.

But i think this can still stay at low priority for now, because it's easy to download and run the tor browser from the website directly and it even has an auto updater

Right and unless they're changing fundamental parts of Firefox to do exactly this (hint, they're not), you get the same effect by proxying via Tor and using security-oriented addons in the existing Firefox.

Missing important settings such as? I don't see any basis for how configuring the browser yourself could be difficult and in all likelihood, you wouldn't be configuring the browser, you'd be configuring your network settings.

The actual advantage of using the pre-configured tor browser is that most users are supposed to use the exact same config to avoid fingerprinting deanonymization.

I'm not a tor expert and only use it occasionally but the tor browser does not only add a few addons. Just as one example it disables mathml to reduce the attack surface and probably a few more things. The tor browser also applies custom patches to firefox although some people are trying to "unfork" the tor browser from firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173199#c31

And as @alatiera mentioned using the same configuration for every user reduces the chance of deanonymization through fingerprinting

The Tor Project team does not recommend to use Tor with any other browser, even if you know what you are doing: "Tor does not protect all of your computer's Internet traffic when you run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to send their Internet traffic through Tor. To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser. It is pre-configured to protect your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with the Tor Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use with Tor."
If you want to check your browser configuration and compare it to Tor browser: http://ip-check.info or https://panopticlick.eff.org/
Better perform a custom site fingerprinting before packaging this: https://www.grc.com/fingerprints.htm

Is this resolved? Tor is available for download in SC. I can't access from the menu thou. EDIT: Sorry, I've just seen you already said it was available

I just noticed that there is apparently a snap package in development but which hasn't been updated in a while. How safe is this one to use? The question for me when it comes to snaps is who really maintains these, especially if they are not from the original project itself: https://github.com/snapcrafters/tor-browser
Does anyone have more information on this?

Resons tor browser is different from firefox: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

@JoshStrobl I think it would be a pain to recreate this by hand for a normal user

I've put together a package for torbrowser-launcher in my GitLab that seems to do fine so far. I'm not really interested in maintaining this officially (given that I just installed Solus about a week ago) but maybe others will find this helpful.
