Re: Torbutton 1.2.5 Released
Thus spake Mike Perry (mikepe...@fscked.org): This release provides the ability to automatically redirect to an alternate search engine when Google presents you with a captcha. The options are ixquick, bing, yahoo, and scroogle. In addition, potentially identifying information (such as language, OS version, and Firefox version) will be stripped off of Google Search Box queries by default. This release will also only update Torbutton via Tor by default, to address concerns with data retention by addons.mozilla.org, as well as potential issues with Tor users being revealed via their Torbutton update requests.
