* cc: brade, mcs (added) Comment: 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32114#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
