Browzar description
Enables you to search and surf the web without leaving any visible trace on the computer you are using

Browzar is a great web browser that only takes seconds to download and you don’t even need to install it, so you can download Browzar time and time again, whenever and wherever you need it to protect your privacy.

With Browzar you can search and surf the web without leaving any visible trace on the computer you are using.

Here are some key features of "Browzar":

· .COM Button
A great feature for saving you time when visiting .com sites. Instead of typing in an address like www.example.com in full, simply type youtube and press the .com button, we'll automatically fill in the www & .com bit so you don't have to. You'll never type .com again!

· ActiveX support
Rather than develop some other approach, we've defaulted to the underlying IE support for ActiveX. However, to protect your privacy, we've made it so ActiveX objects which may have been downloaded during you Browzar session, are automatically deleted on cleanup.

· Auto-complete blocking
Auto-complete works a bit like predictive text. When you are inputting a search term or web address to your computer it guesses what you are going to search for based on things that you inputted in the past. This instantly reveals sites that you have visited before to anyone using your computer or looking over your shoulder when you are searching the web. Browzar blocks auto-complete and doesn't remember what you typed whilst you were browsing or searching. When someone next uses IE on the computer which you last used Browzar, your search terms will not appear in any auto-complete lists.

· Browzar is based on Internet Explorer
· Love it or hate it: that's just the way it is. We decided to build Browzar this way because wherever you go on the Planet, IE is likely to be installed on any Windows PC. This means that the Browzar software download can be kept very small (only 201K), and there's no need for installation: unlike other Browsers, which are often several Mbytes in size and require installation to run. With Browzar you just click and go...

· Browzar is disposable
At some point or another we all need to use browse the Web discretely without our families, friends, colleagues or bosses knowing why. We created Browzar to give people this choice. We wanted to make it free and easy for everyone (not just the technically savvy), to browse in private without the need to install software or register for it. We've designed Browzar for your convenience: so, you can download it when you need it, and easily dispose of it when you don't.

· Browzar skins in Black, Silver and Windows style
You can choose from Black, Silver and Windows style colour schemes.

· Cleanup progress panel
One of the most common questions we got asked by our user was 'how do I know that Browzar has cleaned up after itself?'
Now we have added a new feature which allows
you to follow the cleanup process and give you the peace of mind that Browzar has done its job.
You have options to retry on the event of a cleanup failure. If Browzar crashes, all you need to do is run Browzar and you get a message to cleanup the previous session.

· Cookies and privacy protection
Browzar deletes any cookies created during any Browzar session. Cookies are deleted at the end of the Browzar session as part of the Cleanup process.
Browzar now ignores any existing cookies. So now you won't see anyone else's Amazon profile, Google e-mail, or anything like that.
Whilst using Browzar, if you choose a website to remember you, when you close Browzar any cookies created during the Browzar session are deleted.

· Crash protection and recovery
Each time you run Browzar it places a simple text file on your computer which contains a date and time stamp of the precise moment your Browzar session began. This file can be found at:
C:Documents and SettingsusernamesApplication DataBrowzarrecovey.lck
· Normally this file is deleted automatically when you close Browzar, but in the event of a crash this file remains on the computer. All you need to do is run Browzar again immediately after the crash and Browzar will clean up anything left over from the crash by checking the time and date stamp and removing everything after that that point. When you close Browzar the file is deleted. No information about websites you have visited during any Browzar session is ever stored in this file.

· Function and Ctrl shortcuts
Browzar now has all the Function and Ctrl shortcuts available in Internet Explorer.

· History deletion
Web history is a folder saved on your computer which stores a list of all of the sites that your computer has visited to whilst online. This list of Web addresses appears when you select the history view in IE, or when you click the down arrow on the address bar. Browzar doesn't record any items of history including Media (Video and Audio). So when someone next uses IE on the computer which you last used Browzar, there will be no trace in the IE Web history of sites or media you visited in whilst using Browzar.

· Homepage customisation
Browzar is designed to be disposable - to be used when you need it. But by popular demand you can now set your own homepage from the Tools menu.

· Index.dat cleanup
Index.dat files usually store information about the web addresses and cookies of the sites you visit using Internet Explorer. In previous versions of Browzar, we did not delete such information. However, as a direct response to valuable user feedback, Browzar now cleans up and leaves no trace of website addresses or cookies visited whilst using Browzar.
Of course, there will still be the records of sites you have visited before using Internet Explorer. So if you visit a with Browzar that you visited previously with IE, the original IE record is not deleted. If you are using index.dat reader software to check the efficency of Browzar, please check the date stamp on any records rather than just the URL

· Media (Video & Audio)
User feed back showed that in previous versions of Browzar, sometimes information about Media files (such as video and audio played in RealPlayer of Windows Media Player), appeared in the Internet Explorer History after using Browzar. This has now been identified as a bug and fixed in the current version of Browzar. So no more Media left in History.

· Menu functionality
Browzar was always meant to be uncluttered and simple, but we have now included some of the most requested menu items and functions such as the ability to save items and change the text size on a webpage.

· Popup management
Browzar has a built in popup blocker which you can turn on and off. The popup blocker is set to on by default.

· Secure File Deletion
We were getting a lot of criticism for that fact that we only superficially deleted files rather than 'shredding' them. We've now added a secure delete function that runs on-the-fly

· Tabbing and the 'New Tab' button
We have designed Browzar so that when you have only one website open, there are no tabs visible. This means that you get to see as much of the page as possible without the tabs taking up space. When you want to open up more than one web page using Tabs, you then have the choice of selecting 'New Tab' from the 'File' menu, or from the context menu when rolling over web link on a page, or you can click on the New Tab Icon.

· Temporary Application Data delete (Flash and Java)
Whenever you visit a site containing Flash of Java objects using Internet Explore, certain information about these sites are retained in the Application folder on your computer.
Flash: C:Documents and SettingsusernamesApplication DataMacromediaFlash Player
Java: C:Documents and SettingsusernamesApplication DataSunJava
Browzar deletes all such information on exit.

· Web Cache (Temporary Internet Files) deletion
Web caching is the storing of internet pages on your computer. Cached webpages mean that when you revisit websites you have been to before, your computer does not have to freshly download fixed images and text on the site. This saves your computer time when you are surfing, but means that sites you have visited can pop-up on your computer when you don't want them to. Browzar deletes Temporary Internet Files on-the-fly. When you close Browzar you will see the Cleanup Progress Panel which verifies that all Temporary Internet Files have been deleted.
