This sounds good. But how is it better than just installing Tor?


"just"? Man, normal people can't install Tor. It is not that it is difficult for them, it is impossible.

Also, this solves a problem slighlty different from what Tor solves, in my opinion.


Fair point. They make an effort with the Browser Bundle but I just tried it and it broke on the second run...

Now I want to write a Tor compatible client that 'just works'. Just one static binary that implements the proxy. It embeds a static firefox binary and a prepared profile, which gets extracted into a visible location so the user can delete it if desired.

Basically minimize its dependence on the environment as much as possible.
