CNET Editors' review
An Internet Explorer-based Web browser aimed at letting users surf the Web anonymously, this download unfortunately fails to deliver well even on its main promise. Like other identity-cloaking services, it relies on connections to proxy servers to keep remote Web sites from knowing exactly who's browsing. However, we found many of the built-in proxies simply didn't work, while users can't add new ones. Nor does the program have the ability to check server availability and connection speed. Its tabbed browsing feature does work well, although this is now a standard option even in IE itself. The built-in RSS reader gave us error messages, and even the pop-up blocker seemed a bit substandard in our tests. No help file in English is provided. Given the rich feature set of other modern browsers, we would have a hard time recommending this buggy alternative to anyone.Publisher's Description
From wolfSYS:
ANObrowse is the number one browser for secure surfing without providing your true IP address. By using anonymous proxies, it's not longer you who browses the Web - it's the proxy that does so. You indeed never ever visit the website physically. You never ever visit the Web site you see in the browser. Therefore, the Web server you visited through an anonymous proxy wont know nothing about you, including security data like your IP address. Features: Anonymous Web browsing, anonymous RSS news feed reader, file de-/encryption, tabbed browsing, add-server-blocker, hijacker-removal tool, increase online-speed tool.

"Does Exactly NOTHING"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3
Cons
Can't get it to work - the software says "you are anonymous", but my IP is visible to webpages as if I were using IE.
Useless.
-
"It Works"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3
Pros
It works.
Just quit any program your running when you install it.
Click proxify after its installed.
And click out of or click no to any spyware that comes up.
Cons
Lot's of spyware.
You do need a good anti-virus program.
And on some websites it cuts the top part off.

"Making fool"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3
Pros
User can surf anonymously using public proxies
Cons
In detail, it is stated as FREE product but from the 2nd website you will visit it will ask for the payment. These guys are making us FOOL. I found advertisement over every webpage I visited shown by them. I also think they are trying to get and send my personal details to their server. Horrible product.

"Make sure you have good anti virus!!!!!"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3
Pros
Probably does exactly what it says on the tin
Cons
My McAfee Anti Virus deleted a number of Trojans from the .exe file as it was installing, even though it didn't find them on an intial scan. Caveat emptor - buyer beware! (yeah I know it's freeware!)
-
"it needs to be in style"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3

-
"Filled with trojans and spyware"
Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3
Pros
The idea's good. And it's the only one here on Download.com that's free. And privacy SHOULD be free.
Cons
Perhaps it's not the software itself, but whatever it uses for it's proxies, it just kept downloading a steady stream of viruses; trojan programs, spyware, and so forth. If I hadn't had my McAfee up and running my computer would be spammed into the next decade by now.

Version: ANObrowse 1.0.3

It was free and a good idea..

Doesn't work. Selected a bunch of different proxies, Googled "What's My Ip" and every one of them knew, even though on the status bar it said..."You are now surfing anonymously!" Yeah Right!
