Article: //www.pcworld.com/article/id,126996-c,browsers/article.html

Download from: //www.browzar.com/

This is a small download, it doesn't even install itself, and it's a very basic browser. The main feature is that it doesn't store anything on your PC, no cookies, no cache, no search history, nothing.

Perfect for viewing nudes on DPC.... ;-p

Some things to consider.

Not storing cookies can dramatically limit the usefullness of many sites you may visit, especially any sort of member sites, online stores etc.

Just because your own computer isnt storing info doesnt mean you trail isnt being left. Every system on the web has an IP address and every server tracks IP's to some degree.

Sounds like something to consider if I'm viewing personal info (bank accounts and such) on a computer I don't trust -- but I can't think of a reason why I would do that.

Using that browser or any browser for that matter on a computer you don't trust isn't going to decrease the likelihood of being spyed on.

Having said that, it might come in handy if you're planning on keeping your web activities from your significant other though.

I liked this one the best of the user testimonials:

When returning from work one day I was greeted with an icy welcome and the rather tricky question "did you find any dirty college sluts then?"

Be aware that this is not a new browser. It is just a plugin to Internet Explorer that brings you to their ad-infused front page.

It does nothing to make you more anonymous.
