Comment (by gk):

 Two comments so far:

 The "Learn more" link goes to the Tor Browser manual in *general* but
 seems to indicate that the user gets to know more about why the guard node
 is not changing in *particular*. I wonder whether we should link to a
 dedicate guard related section in the manual instead (which has to get
 written yet).

 Looking at https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#EntryGuards it
 seems to me we are talking only about public relays and not private ones
 (i.e. bridges) when considering guards to the Tor network. However, the UI
 shows "Guard" and "Your Guard node may not change. Learn more", too, in
 cases where users have configured bridges. I think this is misleading and
 we should avoid that.
