Re: [tor-talk] So what about Pirate Browser?



Disagreeing w/ the Vidalia removal seems like the only logical reason I can think of.

I admittedly haven't used it (since it's Windows only) but from their page and the NYT article I read, it sounds like it doesn't seem to do anything that the TBB doesn't already do. They says its Tor + FoxyProxy, with no mention of assistance finding bridges or other features to aid circumvention.

I do not understand why they do the same as TBB. Anyone know?

   Maybe they didn't agree with the recent removal of Vidalia?  In the
end, it probably has more to do with marketing than trying to increase
the privacy of their users.  I also don't understand why they're
releasing it as an exe and not a zip.  Seems like an odd choice,
considering the obvious exploit possibilities of an exe.
