Freeserve founder, Ajaz Ahmed, has launched his next global freebie, Browzar, a new internet browser which allows people worldwide to surf the Web without leaving a history of websites visited and protects against leaving personal details on the computers they use to access the internet.
The launch of Browzar comes after AOL employees published personal search histories of 685,000 of its US customers and recent research found one in five second hand computers are resold with personal data left on them by previous owners.
Free and downloadable in seconds or run directly from the Web, Browzar does not require any installation or registration and doesn’t save information from any websites visited while using it. Cache, history, cookies and auto-complete forms are all automatically deleted, protecting people’s privacy while online.
Ajaz Ahmed, founder of Browzar, said, “Browzar will do for surfing and searching the web with privacy what eBay did for auctions and My Space did for social networking. It is the first in a range of products that we’ll be rolling out this year. We divulge masses of information about our habits, hobbies and financial dealings while online, often unknowingly, and there are times when all of us would rather this was kept private.”
“Although it’s possible to delete history folders and empty cache with existing internet browsers, the majority of internet users worldwide don’t have the time or expertise to do this. There is no free, method that offers the freedom to surf the Web privately that is as simple and easy to use as Browzar. It doesn’t keep copies of pages that have been visited or retain details that have been entered into online forms”, said Ahmed. “Browzar means that even those with limited time or computer knowledge can choose to surf the internet privately while protecting their personal details.”
