Does Congress Really Think They Can Stop Big Tech?

It was simply embarrassing to watch.

Politicians (um lawyers) tried to grill the heads of Big Tech, and all they did was prove how clueless they are when it comes to how Big Tech works, and how they make their money. (but they don't mind taking donations from them).

This isn't Big Tobacco or a physical product, it is data creation and monetization that they control. You can't touch it or just change the packaging.

What these ignorant politicians don't realize is that Big Tech has ALREADY identified every computing device that has connected to the Internet.

Silicon Valley is 3 years ahead of the curve when it comes to technology, and the government is 3 years behind.

If the government is really serious about breaking up Big Tech, before they start regulating ads, search or content, they need to start with HOW Big Tech is able to collect data from EVERY device that is connected to the Net.

Take away the thing that gives them their monopoly..device identification.

Remote browsing is a great start to level the playing field against Big Tech.

Sure Big Tech will still be able to collect data from the computer doing the browsing, but they won't be able to correctly match the data with the actual person that is doing the browsing.

How To Be Anonymous On The Internet

You want to hide your browsing from Big Tech and the government but you’re not sure what private browsing solution can really do that.

A lot of new solutions claim that you can be “private and secure” if you use a VPN, Tor or a private search engine but they also show you how to clear your browsing history and cookies from the browser.

If you have to clear your cookies or browsing history from your computer, you are NOT HIDING your browsing from Big Tech.

In order to hide your browsing from Big Tech and the government, you need to hide the laptop or PC that is actually doing the browsing, or USE someone else’s computer!

A VPN, Tor or private browser do NOT keep you anonymous online because YOUR COMPUTER is actually doing the browsing.
Sure you could go the public library or an Internet cafe and use their computer to browse but that isn’t really convenient.

Now there is an easy way to hide your browsing using your own laptop or PC without leaving your home, it is done with a remote browser.

A remote browser lets you browse the Web and use someone else’s computer (called a server).

Your keyboard and mouse remotely control that computer and the browsing session is streamed to your monitor. It’s like watching TV or a movie on Netflix.

A website cannot identify you. Your Internet provider can’t tell what sites you visited and EVERY search you make is private.

There is no browsing history or cookies to delete. This private browsing also keeps your computer from ever getting a virus either!

A remote browser like TraceFree is the best private browser because you are completely anonymous online and always virus free.

Think of it like driving a rental car. All of Big Tech’s cameras still scan your license plate but they cannot tell that it is you or your computer that is actually doing the browsing.

This is how you can browse anonymously!
