Well, I've been playing with one of those little Tor USB doohickeys. But that's a very different thing from allowing anyone, anywhere to pull a Tor client down onto a java virtual machine. Of course I'll grant that such a publically available Tor node offers a kind of anonymity that most Cypherpunks would pass on, but I still maintain that huge increases in quasi-anonymous traffic* is good for those of us who roll our own, more secure communications. -TD * By Quasi-anonymous I mean potentially breakable, but only through the exertion of significant TLA resources. In other words, too expensive to do fishing expeditions on big-mouths.

There's a Tor park Tor/Firefox appliance, which can be started off local drive or an USB stick.
IIRC the author of Torpark might be developing a Tor Firefox plugin.
