Ask Slashdot: Alternatives To Tor Browser Bundle For Windows?

Posted by timothy on from the send-your-answer-via-smart-missile-please dept.

SonnyJim writes "I frequently use Tor for my anonymous browsing needs, via the Tor Firefox bundle for Windows. I noticed that there are many other applications out there that use Tor as a proxy as well (Janus VM, ChrisPC, etc.) Are any of them more secure than the original Tor bundles, or am I just wasting my time trying these other applications? Is there anything more secure than Tor, as far as anonymous browsing goes?"

    Use TorButton then (the Windows bundle includes it IIRC). AFAIK it solves most of the problems you mentioned. If you are using Firefox 4 then you need the alpha version from here.

    Add to that BetterPrivacy, and you should be much harder to track.
