Not so long ago, if you wanted to download Tor Browser for Mac, there was the one option.

Now there are two, Desktop and Universal for Mac OS.

Without sounding stupid, because one says ‘Desktop’, what are the two differences

Hi!  
Are you getting Tor Browser for MacOS from our website?  
There is only one version there - [Tor Browser for Desktop — Tor](https://download.torproject.org/tor-browser-for-desktop/)  
It is MacOS (Universal) which is for desktop devices

Sorry to get back so late. My stupid error, it threw me because I could get either window, but the downloads are the same… sorry.
