Ask Slashdot: Alternatives To Tor Browser Bundle For Windows? 201

SonnyJim writes "I frequently use Tor for my anonymous browsing needs, via the Tor Firefox bundle for Windows. I noticed that there are many other applications out there that use Tor as a proxy as well (Janus VM, ChrisPC, etc.) Are any of them more secure than the original Tor bundles, or am I just wasting my time trying these other applications? Is there anything more secure than Tor, as far as anonymous browsing goes?"

    I personally find it funny when people use Tor and then leave behind the same cookies, the same user-agent, LSO and Flash cookies, same system configuration, same screen size, same fonts, same installation and versions of plugins, same MAC address, don't change DNS servers and countless amount of other things that make it very easy to identify your other activity or what you're doing.

    I solved this problem simply by finding out what your user-agent, LSO and Flash cookies, system configuration, screen size, fonts, plugins, MAC address, and default DNS servers were. Now whenever I'm on Tor I pretend to be x*yy*x - so I'm golden.
