Fabio, I understand your idea is well intentioned & perhaps has some
merit. But, when it comes to anonymity & security (especially if live
in a country where finding out you accessed banned sites -or used banned
Tor software could get you jailed or worse), if a user is "too dumb" to
read at least SOME instructions or have minimal computer skills & a tiny
bit of common sense, I think it may be hopeless. If they were really
as dumb as you say (some) may be, they'll likely find a way to
compromise their anonymity, no matter how simple it is to install TBB.
Not that it couldn't be offered as an option [but that would hopelessly
confuse the really "dumb" ones :) ], but software needs to offer option
to install to locations of users' choice.
