+<h2><a class="anchor" href="#Warning">Warning: Want Tor to really
+work?</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+...then please don't just install it and go on.  You need to change
+some of your habits, and reconfigure your software!
+Tor by itself is <em>NOT</em> all you need to maintain your anonymity.
+There are several major pitfalls to watch out for:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>
+Tor only protects Internet applications that are configured to
+send their traffic through Tor &mdash; it doesn't magically anonymize
+all your traffic just because you install it.  We recommend you
+use <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/firefox">Firefox</a> with the <a
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/">Torbutton</a> extension.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+Browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer,
+Quicktime, Adobe's PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated
+into revealing your IP address. You should probably
+<a href="http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/uninstall.html">uninstall your
+plugins</a>
+(go to "about:plugins" to see what is installed), or investigate <a
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/">QuickJava</a>, <a
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/">FlashBlock</a>, and
+<a href="http://noscript.net/">NoScript</a>
+if you really need them. Consider removing extensions that look up
+more information about the websites you type in (like Google toolbar),
+as they may bypass Tor and/or broadcast sensitive information. Some
+people prefer using two browsers (one for Tor, one for unsafe browsing).
+</li>
+
+<li>
+Beware of cookies: if you ever browse without Tor and Privoxy
+and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie could identify you even when
+you start using Tor again. You should clear your cookies frequently. <a
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/82/">CookieCuller</a> can help
+protect any cookies you do not want to lose.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic,
+and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but <a
+href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers">it
+can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final
+destination.</a>
+If you are communicating sensitive information, you should use as much
+care as you would on the normal scary Internet &mdash; use HTTPS or other
+end-to-end encryption and authentication.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+While Tor blocks attackers
+on your local network from discovering or influencing your destination,
+it opens new risks: malicious or misconfigured Tor exit nodes can send
+you the wrong page, or even send you embedded Java applets disguised as
+domains you trust.
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+<br />
+<p>
+Be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor does and does not offer.
+This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your
+help <a href="<page volunteer>#Documentation">identifying and documenting
+all the issues</a>.

+<h2><a class="anchor" href="#packagediff">What's the difference between Stable &amp; Unstable?</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Stable packages are released when we believe the features and code will
+not change for many months. These typically include a stable version of Vidalia, Privoxy, and Torbutton.
+</p>
+<p>
+Unstable packages are released so you can help us test new features and bugfixes. Even though they have a higher version number
+than the stable versions listed above, there is a much higher chance of
+serious reliability and security bugs in these downloads. Newer,
+untested versions of Vidalia, Privoxy, and Torbutton are included in
+these unstable package. Please be prepared to <a href="https://bugs.torproject.org/">report bugs</a>.
