Basically it's a portable Firefox browser oriented for anonymity. Read more in the website

It looks really interesting. But i would like some more information about how it hides your identity? The only thing i could find was that it used a network like TOR.

I'd rather use Tor. This does not look very popular yet for the least.

It's Windows-only thus far, and I typically tend to stay away from software carrying the "Anonymous" label. Backdoors and the like.

Many security oriented extensions are used including (noscript,adblock,anonymox and flagfox). I've tried and it works almost like tor.

This is interesting, but I wonder why Tor is seemingly still considered a reputable name in anonymity..

Because people don't know how it works and are end users that know a few technical terms.

I will also stick with TOR for now. I don't normally get excited with new advancements. Look at the bugs i windows 8. Naah, better stay with TOR for now.

I thought TOR was about the worst thing you could use? Hasn't it been exposed? I thought it was unsafe now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

We're talking about an application here...

If you just use Tor to do whatever crap you want to do, without protecting yourself more than that, of course it's not very smart...

In any case, Tor or not, you'll never be 100% safe...

It is important to remember two things; Tor doesn't monitor the inbound and outbound traffic of it's network and the Federal government has more than enough resources to be a majority of the nodes on the network. Although all data internally is encrypted upon every pass, the weakness with the entry and exit of the network remains.
