I just installed the Leap-15.5 Suse 'Launcher/AppArmour' package RPMs.
The also and since many years installed and often upgraded OEM tarball
is unpacked into a remote directory in which the executable is the
realworld object of a link in many distros used and abused. NB. This oem
TOR has been working flawlessly, so much so that it crashes the least of
all 8 browsers employed, and I saw no reason to muck with it. QUESTION:
what additional advantage(s) if any does the Suse (Laucher/Apparmor)
give me?

I don't see the relationship between apparmor and tor. No idea what you
are talking about.

I don't either but I DL'd the package and 3 items showed up in Yast, all
of them from vendor Suse

- torbrowser-apparmor-profile
- torbrowser-launcher
- torbrowser-launcher-lang

Newer version available for Tumbleweed, I haven't installed yet, need a
reason to do so (Leap was a trial balloon).

So what do I get for installing the Suse RPM with its rags as opposed to
the developer's OEM tarball which has been working relatively flawlessly?

Better integration and testing. Bug reporting.

The organization "tor browser" comes without a customized apparmour
profile, so arguably less safe.
