You can see this bug for a screenshot of what the settings dialog looks
like so far: https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/issues/29

The "I prefer" dropdown has these options:

* Tor Browser Bundle - stable
* Tor Browser Bundle - alpha
* Obfsproxy Tor Browser Bundle

Right now it seems like the only way to tell what version of Obfsproxy
TBB to download is by going here:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en#download

I'd rather not have Tor Browser Launcher make a GET request there and
then try to parse. That's a very brittle approach and will break as
soon as torproject.org gets redesigned, or even the layout of just
that page changes.

Would it be possible to include the current recommended obsfproxy
version in this document?
https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions

That would make life way easier.

That would be great! When that happens, Tor Browser Launcher can be
simplified.
