However not all is lost: using Privoxy 3.0.7 beta or later you can combine the user-agent client-header tagger, the forward-override action and a browser-plugin that changes the User-Agent header to build your own Tor toggle. For details see: http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.7/user-manual/actions-file.html#CLIENT-HEADER-TAGGER and: http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.7/user-manual/actions-file.html#FORWARD-OVERRIDE Be sure to read the warning before doing it, though. Note that nowadays the Torbutton extension is also supposed to protect you against some JavaScript-based attacks. Privoxy doesn't do that. Fabian
