Polipo was removed a long time ago because it is no longer needed. See: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-tor-browser-bundle-packages-0 Privoxy performed the same functions so it also isnt needed. The FAQ item explaining this was removed as well, but a dangling reference to it remained behind: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFAQ#WhydoweneedPolipoorPrivoxywithTorWhichisbetter Polipo is still mentioned in the "new" FAQ (even in association with Mozilla) which could lead to confusion. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
