[tor-talk] So what about Pirate Browser?

[Greg Norcie]

Disagreeing w/ the Vidalia removal seems like the only logical reason I 
can think of.

I admittedly haven't used it (since it's Windows only) but from their 
page and the NYT article I read, it sounds like it doesn't seem to do 
anything that the TBB doesn't already do. They says its Tor + FoxyProxy, 
with no mention of assistance finding bridges or other features to aid 
circumvention.
