Re: Torpark - Anonymous, Portable Browser Released
said by dbarber  :. . I was looking for something to carry on my U3 drive, but I guess I'll have to keep looking.  What's wrong with Portable Firefox that this browser is supposedly based on?

1 edit | Apparently John T. Haller is involved in writing both. Given his record with portable FF, I suspect that feedback on the product would be taken seriously to improve it.
My first try was when I unpacked it directly to my USB - mistake - didn't work. When I unpacked and copied the folder to USB, worked OK except for the slow circuit build and timeouts requiring a "wait".
Personally, the TOR thing serves me little purpose. I can't see using it on any regular basis, but I believe the package and authors are legitimate. My only concern would be those who expect Tor to provide total security from being identified and downloading a malware-hacked distribution. That's why I always check the MD5 against the documented hash value when getting open source stuff.
It *was* fun playing with it - it even worked on a WIN98SE machine of mine, although quite slowly.

Edit - here's newadvsplash.dll info, seems to be an open source splash screen and initialization plugin;
