I have to add a bit to this one: NO browser (cept maybe a text browser in BSD or something) is really 100% safe on its own. Firefox has lots of vulnerabilities, just like IE.
That is why you use privoxy with Tor. http://www.privoxy.org/ If you use IE 7, you can start IE 7 with Add-ons disabled. No flash, java, etc... Combine that with Privoxy AND Tor, and you should be doing reasonably well. Is it safe? No. Only text browsers could qualify as safe. I actually like browsing with add-ons disabled as a rule of thumb, not a special practice with TOR. It makes my surfing experience much nicer :) Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim McCormack Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 11:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: reporter from The Economist in Thailand seeks help / new Tor guide is up Enigma wrote: > If someone can provide those with the same settings which are > described in the text below the pictures, feel free to mail them to me. http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO#MozillaFirefo x ...and people shouldn't be using Internet Explorer with Tor.
