Question Alpine Linux Grsecurity Tor Slimjet question

I didnt know where to post it, feel free to move it if necessary.
I am using Alpine linux distro and trying to run the tor browser bundle

Thing is, I have to execute start-tor-browser script, so in terminal I put command:

Code:
/home/alex/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser

Nothing happens, the browser wont start cause Alpine Linux is using Trusted path execution, grsec.

Now if I put command, and enter my password:

Code:
sudo /home/alex/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser

The browser starts without problem but the script is not suppose to be run as root or with root privileges, I think that running it with sudo is not secure at all and is not recommended.

The same goes for this other browser called slimjet, I have to execute flashpeak-slimjet script

Is there anyway I can run the scripts without using sudo?
Or do I have to disable trusted path execution option in the kernel? If yes, how can I do that?
Or is imposible to run this 2 browsers in Alpine Linux distro?
