Editors’ Review

Download.com staffFebruary 29, 2024

The only cost for this tool that greatly simplifies anonymous surfing is a small amount of advertising. Anonymouser's interface is merely a pair of options on your context menu. The program installs quickly through Firefox, and doesn't tax the browser.

This app is a snap to use. Right-click a link and choose to open the site in the same or new tab using Anonymouser. Unlike similar anonymous surfing tools, we detected very little lag using this utility. Sites opened through the program's proxy only slightly slower than without. The extra time was primarily because of loading a small advertising box that partially covered the intended site. The box is easily closed with a mouse click, and it never contained inappropriate content during our tests. Testing against sites that glean personal information from your browser, Anonymouser protected our data. Though the program announces itself to Web sites, it doesn't pass on your personal IP address, browser type, or other typical information.

We had only two problems with this tool. Anonymouser can't open sites from the navigation toolbar and it automatically enables JavaScript, even when the language is disabled in Firefox. Nevertheless, users who occasionally need anonymous surfing will find that this free item fits their needs.

Not compatible with anything newer than Windows 3.0
Summary
Was probably pretty good at first. Browsers caught up with it, the creators never bothered to update. MAJOR WASTE OF TIME.

Pros
I did surf download.com and several other web sites anonymously. And all of the web sites I surfed couldn't make cookies, to get any personal information about my computer. <p>After this plugin is installed you will see two new menu items, when you right click a link. Open with anonymouser and open with anonymouser in new tab. The first one will open a link in the current window, and the second one will open a new tab.
Cons
Unfortunately this plugin doesn't anonymize nothing at all. It uses anonymouse.org and when you go to anonymose.org, you enter a URL and click surf anonymously. <p>Then it will take you to the web site you entered, but it's slow to load the page. And there is a popup advertisement that says anonymization by anonymouse.org, and anonymouse better without adverts. Also not all web sites are displayed right.
Summary

Developer’s Description

By Doug G

Surf links anonymously.

Anonymouser is a Firefox plugin that allows you to surf anonymously to links easily. This plugin is great for surfing to sites that you don't want to have your personal information, or for people that are not in "free" countries to access parts of the web they normally might not be able to (such as blogs). This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
