## Environment variables understood by Tor Browser as developed
## by The Tor Project.

## Environment variable to disable the "TorButton" ->
## "Open Network Settings..." menu item.

export TOR_NO_DISPLAY_NETWORK_SETTINGS=1

## environment variable to hide TBB's logo
## https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14122
## Hide the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) logo in tor-launcher. This is useful to
## avoid users confusing TBB and Whonix. Also useful when running tor-launcher
## in standalone mode, because then it's not TBB that is starting. Lastly also
## useful avoid trademark issues when redistributing original, unmodified TBB
## in (linux) distributions.
