The point is besides the fact that you can configure Chrome to proxy through Tor or anything else, Chrome is not supposed to leak DNS - it's a bug that Firefox currently does not have for instance. Many users use proxies to avoid corporate and other firewalls, and to prevent leakage of information a suppressive government will throw them in jail for - China for instance. Tor just makes a good example. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR UNWITTING USERS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BUG. They may be thinking that Chrome is safe for proxies. The other OT issue about Chrome is of course even despite you using a proxy the right way all the real information about you will be found on Google's servers anyway because Chrome has a lot of hidden information collecting eggs that Google won't talk about. The company has decided that privacy does not matter long time ago. And if it does matter for you - well according to Google then you are a criminal. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
