We don’t know about you but we’re always feeling a bit unsafe while browsing the Internet and no matter how hard we try it, our computers still seem to be exposed to dangerous attacks.
In case Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome do not give you the level of security you expect to receive from a browser, here’s OperaTor, a hybrid application that can help you in this regard.
OperaTor is actually a browser based on the popular Opera but using some features provided by The Onion Router (TOR) and Privoxy, which means it was specifically designed to be safer.
We won’t talk too much about Opera because we already know how powerful this browser actually is, so let’s skip to the fun part.
The interesting side of OperaTor is that it be copied on any flash drive you want and run it directly from there. Plus, it doesn’t store files on the drive, which means you will remain completely anonymous while browsing the web.
Unfortunately however, these modifications have turned the browser into a very slow application and loading pages with Flash content or Java is a nightmare. Not to mention that every time you connect to a website images load just like in the dial-up era, so this can hardly become a permanent solution.
All things considered, OperaTor is a brilliant project, but there’s still a lot of work to be done in this regard and last but not least, it has to be faster, a lot faster than the actual version.
