This makes me think too that project [1] [2] could resurrect with a 
Cloak, the Cloak would replace the servers used to intercept itself. 
Quickly explained the principles are that the browser is intercepting 
itself with the complicity of servers, it then changes the URLs (sent 
and received in the page) to a fake domain and navigates on the fake 
domain via the Tor network, nobody can know outside of the browsers what 
are the real domains, even for ssl (the server name is the fake domain).
