    I did not like that the Tor browser is not accessible via the start menu (in my case: xfce4-popup-whiskermenu). Therefore I installed the application with the following:
    sudo desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/start-tor-browser.desktop
    but I received the warnings as follow:

    Do you find it a bad practice for you? Is that suspicious?
