Public wireless anyone? None of the big sites are willing to invest in your privacy. at least with gmail i can filter http and stay on https (yes, the cookie is still not secure only, *sigh*). treat Tor like an anonymizing hot spot. if you're worried about any of the content being sent, make sure it is encrypted end to end.
Hiding behind/through Tor and an encrypted proxy just puts more layers of obfuscation into the mix but still doesn't provide any more security.
Tor != transport privacy. the sooner everyone realizes this the better... [and the less we have to read about lame ass fame whores like Egerstad pimping their dsniff stupidity. the control port hack was much more interesting...] _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
