Chrome and Safari IP leak

As Roger said, Chrome is not yet supported. We're working with Google
to change this:

But thanks for reporting this bug. Turns out it already has a ticket
in Chrome's bug tracker, but I wasn't aware of it:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=11227

I've added it to our list of Chrome issues at:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1925

I will also ping the lead developer for Chrome proxy settings.
Unfortunately, they are currently on leave until early next year I
believe.
