Hi, I'm moving along better thanks to Kat's help; I appreciate the help of other members of the group as well.
My goal is to use OTR chat with Tor. I've never used Tor as a user, only making a relay & bridge. So, is this correct? I open up Tor, Click on "run as a client only" (do I need to configure anything else to use Tor as a user & not a relay or bridge?) a browser (?) named Namoroka opens In Tor. Is it OK to allow a few scripts: www.google.com, www.ig.gmodules.com ? Is it ok for me to allow Javascript? I can't actually see how, though. Browser preferences says it's already available, but it doesn't show up in Namoroka so no Gmail, no Google chat. Then I go to Adium, and chat in Google Chat through Adium. Here's the thing: I don't understand the relationship between Adium and Tor. Exactly how do should use Adium under Tor? If you can help--thank you. Plain, plain English works best. I have a Mac & use 10.6.6 Firefox 3.6.15 plus this Namoroka thingy (browser?).
