August 10, 2022 by Anne S Leave a Comment

The dangers of knowing that users’ data and information are unprotected online have become the subject of discussion in the last decade. As a matter of fact, the reality that big tech companies can profit from this data or that it can be used maliciously has only entered the arena of protective legislation in recent years.

Conduct Safe and Anonymous Browsing Through Mobile Phones

April 17, 2013 by DailyBits Leave a Comment

Browsing is the act of exploring the World Wide Web essentially through following links that users deem interesting. In browsing, there is a definitive purpose of obtaining information although the way of going about it is not clearly planned. Web browsing is a common task or activity done by computer users. Even mobility has not prevented many from performing the same task especially with the availability of anonymous browsing through mobile phones.

Mobile Browsing

Mobile browsing is essentially what the term implies. It is browsing done through mobile devices such as a mobile phone. It became a natural extension of traditional browsing as people discovered they found it impossible not to stay connected even outside the usual work area. It would appear that the need to access and view documents knows no limitation in time and space.

Mobile browsers are specifically designed to facilitate Web content display on small screens. Wireless handheld devices are working under its natural limitation of lower memory capacity and low bandwidth. With the continuous innovation in technology, the mobile browsing experience is only expected to get better.

Anonymous Web Browsing

An online user who wishes to hide his or her IP address and other identifiable information from the website being visited can choose to browse anonymously. The most common way of doing this is through the use of proxies. Another is to send information through a net of routers.

Anonymous web browsing can sometimes result to slower page loading because of the need to reroute information. It is also highly possible that some page elements will not be able to load. Internet users usually resort to anonymous browsing if they don’t want their online sessions to be monitored. However, even if a certain degree of anonymity is achieved, the user’s IP address is still shared with the proxy server.

Safe and Anonymous Browsing Through Your Mobile Phone

As of this time, there are not so many available tools that can be used to achieve safe and anonymous browsing through a mobile phone. One is the use of Tor for android phones. Another is the use of a web-based proxy on any phone that can run on Opera mini. Still another option is to download content to a PC using a phone that can connect to it and then posting from there.

It is important that the user trusts the persons running the proxy and believe that they have the ability to keep the information secure. Users should consider getting more information about Virtual Private Network or VPN. For relevant reviews on VPN services, visiting www.bestvpn.com will prove very useful.

We all know that the Internet is anything but private. Sure, there is still the high degree of anonymity, hence the cyber bullies and people who say things that they wouldn’t dare say to a person’s face. However, there is also the known fact that more and more, entities are watching what we do online. They have various reasons, but Google’s updated privacy policy is blatantly all about gathering data from users in order to better target their advertisements. (Nah, it’s not all about the money. Why would anyone think that?) [Read more…] about Mozilla Add-on Collusion Allows You to Spy on Who’s Watching

No SOPA Chrome Extension Helps You Take a Stand

We’ve been hearing about the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, for some time now. Whether or not you have been following the developments and arguments about it, there is no going around the fact that if this act does get passed, our lives will change. Well, unless you do not really use the Internet all that much. (As unthinkable as that may be, there ARE people who do not see the Internet as their life.)

Also known as H.R. 3261, this bill was introduced in October by Representative Lamar Smith, in cooperation with 12 other co-sponsors. One can discuss the bill at length, but the bottom line is that it aims to give more power to copyright holders and the U.S. Department of Justice to take web sites to court; that is, web sites that are accused of copyright infringement.

Dolphin Browser Hits the App Store for FREE

August 31, 2011 by noemi Leave a Comment

What browser do you use on your mobile device? I think I am one of the perfect users for the iPhone because I don’t really look for much in terms of customizing my settings and apps. For example, I am perfectly content with Safari for mobile browsing as it works – and that is all I really need!

From what I hear from Android users, though, the ability to change little details is what gives their devices the edge. If you are an Android user, then you may already be using the Dolphin browser, which has impressed many. Yesterday, iPhone users got treated to the first release of the Dolphin browser in the App Store. I just checked it out myself and look what I found!
