Agreed, it's definitely harder to crack than your regular browsers but it's security is overstated. It was invented by the NRL and DARPA after all. They also got the Silk Road hit-for-hire guy.

I'd have thought that a lot of the tinfoil folks would be happy with the US Government passing control over to a private entity.
