Really ?  "it phones home to a server" ?   Either you have no idea how a VPN 
(for hiding your IP) works, or you forgot to add some information.

Also, have you ever thought about checking what that server it "phones home" 
to actually is ?  No ?  Why not ?

Furthermore, do you think that if the makers of Psiphon wanted grab some 
private data from your 'puter they could not have simply added another 
connection to the tunnel it creates - leaving you none-the-wiser ?

iow, the Psiphon client software does not need that "dummy browser" of yours 
to connect with the internet.  Worse, it would make the the whole "phoning 
home" thing needlesly complicated.

-- But if it actually "phones home" to grab data from your machine that way 
(unlikely) than do remember the old saying : when you get stuff for free its 
likely you are the product, not the customer.
