I didn't mean for my post to come off as rude, but it seems strange to just assume that because one thing is canceled, a completely different tool with a different name would be canceled, and to be fair, 10 seconds with Google gives a better summary of Vidalia than I could do, but I'm flattered you reviewed my comments. Additionally, while we're here, you should really reconsider how you're using Chrome. If Chrome is like Firefox, it does NOT tunnel it's DNS requests by default. Firefox, for example, (at least with 3.6) won't resolve .onion links unless you select the option to tunnel DNS requests. It means that you're likely leaking DNS requests to potential watchers. Others like javascript and Flash can be equally insidious. If you're using Tor, it would behoove you to use the Tor Browser, or at least the Bundle as it has very sensible default settings for protecting yourself.
