Re: So TOR is NOT really anonoymous!?

Tor only takes care of the IP address, what you send over that link also
needs to be cleansed.  Java/Javascript run locally in your browser,
therefore info about your local machine is available to both java
applets and javascript.  Tor does not cleansed this, nor should it.

This link explains this as well:
