The Tor project itself muddles the distinction. If you go to their website and click "download", you get the Tor Browser. They actively encourage people to only use Tor Browser and not roll their own (because your browser requests would look different and you would be trackable).
The "only way" (without contortions) to get Tor without the bundle is via linux package manager.

I appreciate why Ars Technica's headline is what it is, but this is Hacker News.
- captainmuon 9y agoYeah, you're right. This would be one of the cases where it makes sense to change the title.
