It looks like he may have abandoned it. Isn’t there a new major version now? Also, I have been on here trying to find the build instructions for tor-browser bundle, so I can build it myself. Do you know where I can find them? They were posted here before I think.

Is there at least a link to the modifications that Whonix makes on top of what tor browser makes to Firefox? Does anything need to be altered before building or is it all afterwards?

These are the least of your worries. It’s here:
Whonix Tor Browser Differences

In summary: Nothing to do.

  • Before: No action required.
  • After: No action required.

My bad, I meant tor browser bundle. I knew that the bundled tor had to be disabled, so I was asking if anything else. The site you linked does list the other changes. It says it does it through environment variables. I guess that means that anything I compile will be run with them, and I have to do nothing.

So TLDR: I have nothing to do as it is handled by the system when it is launched.

The aarch64 Tor Browser nightlies have been working pretty well for me on a UTM VM running on Apple Silicon. tb-updater works to install it, but note that you have to set ARCH_DOWNLOAD to linux-aarch64 when running to match Tor’s naming convention, as otherwise the script looks for linux-arm64 which does not exist:

ARCH_DOWNLOAD=linux-aarch64 update-torbrowser --alpha
