ImageInternet privacy advocates are proudly pushing a new Firefox-based web browser that enables internet users to maintain complete anonymity when they go online to surf the net.
The new browser, called Torpark works by randomly routing encrypted page requests through a network of servers called The Onion Router, making it almost impossible to track down a user's IP address.

Torpark, which was developed by a group of security specialists who call themselves Hactivisimo, has won plaudits from non-profit internet privacy advocate Electronic Frontiers Foundation.

The Torpark browser, which is a modified version of Portable Firefox, does not require installation and can be carried around by the user on a USB memory stick, taking up only 7MB of storage.
