Basically, if you want to carry out a search and don&#8217;t want to leave a trail for whatever reason, then Browzar promises to keep your most sensitive secrets secret \u00e2\u20ac\u201c such as your latest peculiar hobby, financial situation or pending job move.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Web users and privacy advocates may find such claims compelling given the increasing number of stories about personal search history &#8220;accidentally&#8221; being published, as happened recently to thousands of AOL subscribers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>However, it seems those who use the Internet for illegal purposes can still be tracked using &#8220;standard&#8221; law enforcement methods, and is also only available for Windows operating systems.
