How is this different from the traditional version of Little Snitch?
They have a comparison page: https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch-mini/compare.html
It really makes my wish they had one of those side-by-side charts that tells you which features are in what.
People are probably going to be confused between this and the "full" version of Little Snitch. My take on it is that Little Snitch Mini is something you can install on a non-technical friend or family member's computer whereas power users may want to stick with the existing offering.
