Onion button gone, security level slider behind 'shield'

Description

Onions are shields in Torbrowser on Tails 4.0: onionshield5

Slider is hiding behind this 'shield´ screenshots on https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-90 are contradicting (one has a shield, one doesn´t), should be checked what the best description is to help people change that slider level.

As an FYI, I believe this content is editable in the wagtail admin.

So it is! Will update.

Updated. I'd love to add the icon itself but Wagtail's RTE doesn't seem to love inline images. :/

Also changed text to "Set your Tor security level to 'Safest' for maximum protection"

UX best practice on messaging is to state what we want the user to do, first; not the declaration of what's wrong, which also reads like an admonishment. :( Second, to then explain why. Users need concrete incentive, and the current H2 reads too much like marketing content in its non-specific promise of betterment.

Might I recommend:

H1: Set your Tor browser's security setting to "Safest" H2: A low Tor security setting still leaves you vulnerable to tracking or malware attacks. OL (as is)
