PirateBrowser - No more censorship!

PirateBrowser is a bundle package of the Tor client (Vidalia), FireFox Portable browser (with foxyproxy addon) and some custom configs that allows you to circumvent censorship that certain countries such as Iran, North Korea, Singapore, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Italy and Ireland impose onto their citizens.

Does it make me surf the net anonymously?

No, it's not inteneded to be a TOR Browser, while it uses the Tor network, which is designed for anonymous surfing, this browser is ONLY intended to circumvent censorship.
The Tor network is used to help route around the censoring / blocking of websites your government doesn't want you to know about.

If you are looking for something more secure you may want to try a VPN like PrivacyIO https://privacy.io/?ref=328219.

Does this contain any viruses or trojans?

There have been no modifications to any of the packages used, no adware, trojans, toolbars, etc. This is simply a tool to help people get around censorship.

One is restricted to the TOR ip dished out....so what is the deal here which the Tor bundle cannot do already?

Tor, the technology bundled under the hood, is anonymizing software, but if you want to use it as such, you’ll have to download and configure it with your own browser separately. As Tor puts it, its client is designed to thwart traffic analysis (both simple or sophisticated) by distributing your activity across multiple points, eliminating single-source tracking:

The idea is similar to using a twisty, hard-to-follow route in order to throw off somebody who is tailing you — and then periodically erasing your footprints. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several relays that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it’s going.

Click through to any of those Tor links and you’ll see why the idea of a ready-made anti-censorship browser has such allure: setting up Tor takes more than casual network know-how. How many people in countries that actively censor the Internet haven’t bothered with workarounds because the complexity threshold’s too high?

Not entirely true. Tor nodes can be identified and blocked at ISP level. To circumvent this, one will need to configure bridges and use obfuscating proxies, but the race is between the censor and the user. Tor exit nodes are listed, though not in its entirety, but yes, Tor is an onion ring worth considering for anonymity, but like I said, your ISP can block Tor exit nodes, but I doubt in Singapore, the ISPs bother to do so, but they can if they want to.

Anyway, what I'm asking is what is the difference between piratebrowser and the Tor browser bundle

Twitter has erupted in criticism. The Spy Blog, which focuses on security, privacy and surveillance issues, tweeted:

#PirateBay #ThePirateBay don't touch #PirateBrowser ! Crippled Tor Browser Bundle: no Tor Button, no NoScript, no package Digital Signature

Jacob Appelbaum, a security bod and a spokesman for the Tor Project, also tweeted:

Piratebrowser seems like they didn't read the Tor Browser Design documents. It seems unsafe.
