Important
The only protocols which OperaTor anonymizes are HTTP and HTTPS, thus if you want to stay anonymous you should avoid using other Opera features (e.g. Java, JavaScript, Bittorrent, integrated e-mail and IRC clients).
OperaTor comes with absolutely no warranty. It is the user's responsibility to test whether the connection is secure. Users should keep in mind that OperaTor relies on Tor (The Onion Router) and Polipo and any security questions should be directed to their developers.

Privoxy works fine with SSL, but Privoxy cannot read SSL connections, so it won't filtering anything, not even cookies.

Can we have Privoxy back please? Polipo leaks DNS requests, so the whole tor is pointless
I've contacted the Polipo
I've contacted the Polipo developer and he not only said Polipo doesn't have such problems but also pointed me to these two entries from the Tor FAQ: and . Using the information from the latter you can conduct a simple test. Add the

This does not solve the problem! I logged all packets with wireshark and still got plain DNS requests. I tried setting up privoxy with opera again, but I still got DNS leaks. I found out that the problem is not Polipo or Privoxy, it's Opera itself because Opera doesn't support SOCKS proxy! Thus Opera always has to do DNS requests itself.

I love OperaTor
I use OperaTor with and WITHOUT Tor because it's the greatest portable web browser, period. I use it on my Samsung Q1UP-XP small 1024 X 600 screen with dozens of tabs open. I use the Breeze Simplified Micro skin. Check out my screenshot:

You can get the skin here, but you'll have to customize a little to get it to look like mine.

I have had over 200 tabs open at once with OperaTor and that skin. I'd tell you exactly how many, but I quit counting after I got to 200. Try that with Firefox!
