Peter Palfrader 76d65bba86 Change the description slightly, to say "don't rely on the current Tor network
if you really need strong anonymity", instead of "Tor will not provide
anonymity currently".

Tor only provides TCP layer anonymity.  It does not do any protocol
cleaning, so if you are going to browse the web you still give away a
lot of information to servers.

The privoxy package provides a privacy enhancing HTTP proxy, which
is good at filtering headers, cookies, and much more.  To view the
description of the Debian privoxy package just run "apt-cache show
privoxy".  Please refer to the privoxy documentation for more details.

In order to use privoxy over tor, add the following line to your
privoxy configuration file:
	forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
(the dot is important)

Then configure your browser to use privoxy as its HTTP proxy.
