Submitter here. Depends if you trust the proxy. From the document it looks like connections to the proxy uses SPDY so it will be encrypted, so it increases user privacy in the sense that there won't be any plain text traffic between you and starbucks wifi. There's an experimental addon for this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/janus-proxy-configurator/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/janus-proxy-c... . I tried it but the stats always say nothing is proxy'ed. I haven't checked if that means nothing is proxy'ed or just a stats bug.
