OK, so we keep old bits lying around here … unfortunately, it doesn’t work on our Solaris 9 (or one last Solaris 7) system, it gets an EINVAL trying to push a “sockmod” module.

I'm not familiar with that. What is it? Google gives me zero relevant results on that one (I mostly get religious links or stuff referring to some crappy band from the 80's). Godhead?

How the hell did that happen? I think the plugin only looks at the user agent, and does some pattern matching to display these labels. So you can cheat it easily. If you change your user agent to say you are using Lynx under windows, it will probably say just that. :P Btw, I have a Tor + Privoxy setup and a nice plugin for firefox that will torrify me in 1 click. I just rarely use it cause it tends to be slower at times. LOL! How the hell did that happen?

Luke, depends on the day. I use tor + a list of active proxys, I think Tor is safer of you plan to login to anything you own. Plugins make it a snap. Hey guys, amidoinitright?
