Firefox 4 supports HTML5 and this means you can watch certain videos even if you do not use flash ...for example on youtube. Currently you have to opt-in for HTML5 videos but I think the developers (of TBB) are working on settings to opt-in by default (seen in ticket on trac.torproject.org). > The other question: the page says it comes with Polipo, but I see no > evidence of Polipo > in either bundle (in the script, in the processes or the files included). > Is there an > advantage to using Polipo or Privoxy with the Tor bundles?

Proxies such as polipo and privoxy were only a temporary workaround for a firefox bug (hardcoded SOCKS timeout). The goal was to get rid of these proxies. TBB takes care of application-level privacy leaks such as User-Agent Header and many other things. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF4EAREKAAYFAk3zv+kACgkQyM26BSNOM7b8rwD+IqGe02mVPuXHvMGDdNfoIZlc 48GcshdR/lw5tCK9RlIBAKkINxxotl+g4qstZQA7MAyL4WQhrOz67XcQyCX9fYAX =bAda -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
