anonymous Web surfing
(redirected from anonymous browsing)

     0.01 sec.
anonymous Web surfing
Surfing the Web without divulging personal information to Web sites and tracking technologies. It is generally accomplished by using a proxy server, which functions as a relay between the user and the destination site, hiding the user's IP address. Products may also provide encryption to prevent eavesdropping.

Client-Side Privacy
Another approach is a built-in browser feature or add-on browser plug-in that makes the session private on the client side, removing traces of Web activity in the computer when the browser window is closed (see private browsing). See cookie, anonymous remailer, anonymous proxy, onion routing, Web bug and Anonymizer.
