Ugly? I'd say quite workable. Allows for separation of different functions, e.g. profiles for Facebook, work, play, and as you point out Tor and non-Tor. Put different profiles on different desktops/workspaces and/or use different themes and you can reduce the likelihood of visiting the wrong site in the wrong profile. Also allows for building a fairly simple portable environment. It's not as straight forward as just clicking an icon, but none of the privacy-enhancing tools are. -c *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
