The Best Private Browser

Private browsers like Tor and Brave claim to offer "private and secure browsing" but that's not really true.

Browsing using a VPN?  Well your data may be secure, but your device isn't.

A private browser is:
  1.  When a website cannot identify who you are or where your real location is
  2.  A website cannot leave any cookies, malware or viruses on your device
  3. Your Internet provider cannot tell what sites you visited.
  4. There is no browsing evidence of any kind on your device
The future of browsing is to use a server in the cloud. This isolates the browser from the user's device. 

When you want complete privacy and security get the best private browser TraceFree.

How To Tell If You Are Private Online



Your VPN says you're "private and secure". Tor and the so called private browsers promise "complete anonymity". How can you prove it?

Here's a simple way to tell if your private browsing solution REALLY is keeping you private.

While using your VPN, Tor, or any private browser simply do this:

1. On any website, right click on any image.

2. Click "Save Image As..."

3. When the popup window appears, does it show YOUR PC?

If you are seeing your PC in the popup window it means that website (and any website) can see and touch your device. If a site can see your device there is no way you can be private (and definitely not secure).

True online privacy comes when you isolate your device from the browsing session. That can only be done with a cloud browser like TraceFree

What Happens To Online Advertisers If.....Not If But WHEN

Internet users are discovering the benefits of surfing in Google's Incognito Mode or Firefox's Private Window, much to the chagrin of subscription websites (or sites who limit the number of free reads).




One of Australia’s oldest media companies is ‘on the verge of totally collapse’ after a flaw in their multi-million dollar paywall has led to thousands of Australians reading their articles for free.

At the moment, the brand’s flagship newspapers allow unsubscribed readers to enjoy a total of 30 free articles per month, before putting up a paywall preventing the user from reading anymore unless they start paying.

However, that paywall can be easily bypassed by opening the article in an Incognito Window, which is hitting Fairfax hard, according to one insider.

But privacy?

Privacy? It basically comes down to whether how much Google wish to add to their users' profiles: Google needs to save data about our browsing habits so they can keep developing their search algorithms – and of course so they can target advertising to us.

But what if....what if we could surf the Web in such a way that websites, ISPs, and even your own device would have no idea who is surfing? What happens to the online advertising industry WHEN that happens?
