Privoxy is included in TBB 2.2.24-1 alpha for Windows even though Privoxy
is not needed. I tested setting !TorButton to 'custom' with only SOCKS
proxy set*, thus bypassing Privoxy, and TBB passed all 'Tor checks' (e.g.,
https://check.torproject.org). Using DNSEye there are no DNS leaks and I
did not have any timeout erros when only using SOCKS proxy setting in
Firefox.
Testing TBB 2.2.24-1 alpha (Firefox) page load speed with !FireBug and
!HammerHead showed faster page load times without Privoxy vs with Privoxy
for https://torproject.org, [https://blog.torproject.org/
https://blog.torproject.org] and
http://kpvz7ki2v5agwt35.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page.
* I added these lines to user.js:
{{{
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.http_port", 0);
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.http_proxy", );
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.https_port", 0);
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.https_proxy", );
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.socks_host", "127.0.0.1");
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.socks_port", 9050);
user_pref("extensions.torbutton.settings_method", "custom");
}}}
