Can you give me a list of websites torbutton breaks for you? And how does it break them? Toggling torbutton will kill javascript in websites that are currently open, but you want that, unless you like random javascript timers going off and sending your real IP to website. > >Will try to go back to an older version if it is still available online :((((( Torbutton is a GREAT extension but WHY hell does the author want to care of all together??? Maybe he should also include Firefox in the extension, and why not, Windows or a unix distribution??? really BAD now :(((( > > (You have a bad case of linewrap there, friend. :-) > You could also try FoxyProxy, which I have used in the past, or > SwitchProxy, which I prefer use now.

If you configure your Tor proxy settings as one of the proxies, Torbutton should detect when it is enabled and turn on its security features for you without your needing to actually hit the torbutton itself. If it does not, it is a bug. Please report it. Again, Torbutton protects against numerous web exploits that can reveal your IP address when you use vanilla proxy changers. Please read over http://torbutton.torproject.org/dev/ before you go recommending insecure solutions to people, or simply hate on Torbutton without providing any bug reports to the maintainer as to why. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
