It's pretty cool. FOr those of you who don't know what it is, here's their web page. It's basically anonymous internet via IP sharing. It uses a special build of firefox for anonymous browsing. (Which I'm using now. ) It also does torrents as well. I'm really impressed with this, but I can see its shortcomings would be that it requires a fast internet connection for it to actually be worth using.

No reason it can't function as an ordinary proxy. (However, I see nowhere on the site this claim is actually made.)

I looked at the site, and it looks like the browser hits up other computers running the browser for the connections.
Sooo ... you're internet traffic could be somebody else's [if I'm reading the page right]
Kinda creepy there.

Every page is received from a different computer, the IP of the bit-binder-thing changes ever time you load a page.
That requires more stuff. And firefox is cool. That too.

Even Tor uses an installed portion, bb must pack theirs in with firefox.

Nah. I'm not quite ready to share my Internet connection with a bunch of strangers (torrents excluded). Too many unknowns.

The main thing I can see wrong with Bitblinder is if one person happens to download some malware/virus, would everyone else be susceptible to getting that as well?

Yeah, it seems like another proxy to me, just with a special client required rather than a more useful insert proxy information to use thing.

It doesn't require "more stuff". Any such system will need exactly one program running on the machine (or another on the LAN) to function as the proxy. All HTTP requests go through the proxy, which means it can easily check the URL being requested without linking into the browser. That wouldn't even likely be necessary, since HTTP requests often use keepalive, which sends multiple requests and responses over one connection, so it would be enough to use a different IP for every outgoing connection, like any anonymous proxy network should.
Even if your browser is making multiple connections at once to load pages faster (or the server doesn't support keepalive for some reason), the server shouldn't care what IPs the requests are coming from. So there's no need to do anything but function as an ordinary proxy server on the client side.

Integrating with a web browser when you don't need to always smells fishy to me. (Or should I say phishy?) Torbutton is one thing - the software is separate, and the optional extension just changes Firefox's proxy settings to use it or not. Having the entire system built into the browser is another story entirely. Plus, what if I want to pipe something other than Firefox through that network?

Yea, it integrates with Firefox and its own bittorrent client.

Don't you like technical terms like stuff?

I know what it could be doing with the proxy stuffs, but they are either

being lazy
being fancy
being sneaky
being minimalistic
being something else
being a-thief-of-information

:specialed:

I'm almost certain that there was a plugin released for Firefox that allowed you to run multiple proxies. Can't remember what it was called; I was just using it for rapidsharing multipart archives.
