disclaimer

This extension doesn't protect you from things like flash accessing your actual ip address. If complete annonymity is what you seek, try configuring a new "Location" in your Network Settings (OSX) and switching to it when wanting to browse under tor. The extension recognizes network changes and will accurately report your tor connection status.
