Browzar, no more than adware platform
Published September 9th, 2006 in Adware, All Categories, Internet Explorer Clones, Other Browsers
A free browser that claims it can safeguard privacy has been hit with accusations that it is really a
platform for advertising and – worse still – is insecure.
Released last week, Browzar is not an independent browser but an IE (Internet Explorer) shell download that its creators have promoted as a way for ordinary internet users to visit websites and run searches without leaving traces of their activity – browsing history, auto-complete forms and cookies – behind them as with a conventional browser. These elements are all said to be securely deleted by the software.
Now posters to a number of technical discussions groups have taken issue with some of the program’s alleged features. They accuse it of being little more than an advertising platform masquerading as a security add-on. Browzar ‘no more than adware platform’ News - PC Advisor
