Well, starting Tor in a terminal, one sees:

"This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity."

But we probably don't want naive users running Tor in terminals.

Maybe the browser in TBB should start with a brief "do's and don'ts"
page. It could include both technical issues, such as "Don't install
other apps to use with Tor.", and operations security, such as "Don't
expect Tor to hide you when you're the only likely suspect using Tor."
