Tor Browser Bundle is a bundle of the Tor daemon, Tor Browser (heavily patched version of
Firefox), several essential extensions for Tor Browser, and some tools that glue those
together with a convenient UI.
`tor-browser-bundle-bin` package is the official version built by torproject.org patched with
`patchelf` to work under nix and with bundled scripts adapted to the read-only nature of
the `/nix/store`.
`tor-browser-bundle` package is the version built completely from source. It reuses the `tor`
package for the tor daemon, `firefoxPackages.tor-browser` package for the tor-browser, and
builds all the extensions from source.
Note that `tor-browser-bundle` package is not only built from source, but also bundles Tor
Browser differently from the official `tor-browser-bundle-bin` implementation. The official
Tor Browser is not a normal UNIX program and is heavily patched for its use in the Tor Browser
Bundle (which `tor-browser-bundle-bin` package then has to work around for the read-only
/nix/store). Meanwhile, `firefoxPackages.tor-browser` reverts all those patches, allowing
`firefoxPackages.tor-browser` to be used independently of the bundle, and then implements what
`tor-browser-bundle` needs for the bundling using a much simpler patch. See the
longDescription and expression of the `firefoxPackages.tor-browser` package for more info.
