Browzar promises safe browsing for normal people.

Over the past several years, there have been multiple ways for people to surf the internet. Internet Explorer has been around for a very long time, Firefox owns ten percent of the market, and Opera is probably the most universal web browser. Now, the founder of Freeserve has wrote a web browser he promises will be very easy to use. Ajaz Ahmed, the founder of Freeserve, told ZDNet that "It's aimed at normal people who don't realise they're leaving traces behind. Having a retail background enables me to think like a customer, I'm always conscious to keep things very, very simple". Some advantages of using Browzar-
  • No browsing history or cookies.
  • No embarrasing auto-complete.
  • No installation necessary, you can run it off the website.
  • No registration required.
You can download the Browzar beta here.The file is approximately 300 Kilobytes and is compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.

:roll: So true, but I couldn't exactly post that on the front page. That would be a great headline though. "Browzar makes viewing t3h pr0n easy!"

OMFG this thing is slow. wow - i think a proxy server works faster. no a proxy server thru internternet that then goes thru sattelite internet then proxied the dial up - to a dog ready to get the print out of the request who limps over to "steve" sitting in his mothers basment who then pulls up the webiste and then telnets back to @0L that brings up the page for you. :shadedshu

That's a major security breach then... If you let it have your cookies then you might as well give them your logons and passwords... hell you already are!
But seriously... it runs from inside the internet meaning it can stream your cookies to a remote computer... that's really not good.

actually it does not...

its just like the portable Firefox and does not need to be installed. It is still an executable which needs to be run on the host PC.
