Tweaked Version of Firefox that makes Web Browsing anonymous.

A tweaked version of Firefox that makes Web browsing anonymous has been released by a group of privacy-minded coders.

Every few minutes, the Torpark browser causes a computer's IP address to appear to change. IP addresses are numeric identifier given to computers on the Internet. The number can be used along with other data to potentially track down a user, as many Web sites keep track of IP addresses.


The nice thing about this browser is that you can easily run it from a USB Thumbdrive and bring it with you anywhere you go. First reactions are that browsing is a little slow since you are constantly jumping IP's but if you are one that likes privacy online then chekc out Torpak.

It can be downloaded from here:
torpark.nfshost.com
