Private Browsing by PortableApps.com

Private Browsing by PortableApps.com was designed in order to offer users a reliable way of browsing the Internet safely and securely. Coming as an enhanced alternative for built-in private browsing tools, it will complement the portable edition of Mozilla Firefox. It will allow people to launch their Firefox browser by using a special profile that contains advanced security measures and ensures safe and reliable Web surfing.

Private Browsing by PortableApps.com comes as a separate privacy application that will run using the existing Mozilla Firefox, Portable edition browser. Featuring a straightforward deployment process and requiring no initial setup, the application can be used by both novice and experienced users.

Although the app works by using the existing Mozilla client, after deployment users will be able to access it by opening its dedicated executable. This will render a private browsing session and this Mozilla instance will have a different icon, in order to avoid confusion.

The browsing sessions provided by this application will retain no settings and preferences from the standard Mozilla client. All the cookies, history and other private features are turned off. Users will be able to define separate bookmarks that will be available only in the private sessions and the application will offer a customizable blocklist.

In addition to its core functionality, the application also comes packed with Flashblock (for blocking the Flash Cookies) and AdBlock Plus (for managing all the advertising content). Although people will be able to define their own tracking protection, the application’s basic settings might not satisfy experienced users.

Private Browsing by PortableApps.com will be a good choice for those who value their browsing privacy. It will help them avoid Internet tracking and it will offer decent customization for the privacy measures. As specified by the producer, this application will not impede traffic monitoring from the network administrators, but it will only help avoid local tracking.
