Internet Browsers tweaked FireFox, Browsezilla

As a user, do you have the right to privacy with respect to your surfing activity? Or is it just wonderfully appropriate that someone else can gather data about where you have been?

A company called Torpark has released a tweaked version of Firefox that makes Web browsing anonymous. IP addresses are a numeric identifier given to computers on the internet. Many web sites keep track of IP addresses. Lots of marketing applications for information on your surfing habits.

The tweaked version of Firefox causes the IP address of a computer to appear to change. Torpark says they want to expand privacy rights as new technologies are increasingly collecting online data.

This is a modified version of Portable Firefox which can be run off a USB memory stick on a computer. I don't know if this new version also does the USB trick.

The browser is free to download at torpark.nfshost.com. One drawback is that
it might be a bit slower than expected.

Maybe you want to give it a spin.

Another Free web browser is one you might want to avoid.

Browsezilla is another free web browser that bills itself as tool for privacy protection. It is actually alleged that it is a click-fraud engine for bad web sites.

Browsezilla claims to help users cover the tracks of where they have been. But it also secretly installs adware that boosts the page view counts on these bad web sites. This may be the first browser that downloads this type of click generating software. In addition the Browsezilla download page features an Adult links section.

Not recommended because of these two things. You will make your own best decision.
