Tor Browser Bundle is configured so that you do not reveal your identity by mistake. It is very easy to do, most people have revealed their identity without knowing. You might think "these browsers are libre, they make me anonymous" but they still reveal things that are unique, like system fonts, screen orientation, unique browser text string identifier, operating system, etc. They may not connect through Tor correctly too. It is not a warning you should take lightly. If you want Tor, use TorBB: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning Or don't use it at all. Seriously, nefarious types watch Tor users, and revealing your identity can sometimes be very damaging. For example, someone set up a Tor exit node as an experiment, and picked up sensetive, unencrypted communications from governments and UN personelle. You might make a similar mistake. Who knows? Use Tor Browser Bundle or don't use it at all.
