Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Thus API involved leaks could be fixed in general by setting proxy per
 process at start.

 This approach if alone still leaves disk traces (it writes some
 information to IE's cache). Fix shouldn't leave any leaks. Proxy option
 could be helpful still for some unknown yet API-involved leaks, as
 proactive protection (tbb-disk-leak < tbb-proxy-bypass)
