Today’s Internet presents a troubling conundrum for anyone who values privacy. It’s the most powerful expression of humanity’s technological prowess, but it’s also rife with a dizzying array of dangers, some obvious and others less so. Identity theft, malware, phishing scams, and data tracking perpetrated by major technology companies, not to mention the National Security Agency (NSA), all combine to make for a treacherous digital terrain. Users who log on with no thought for their own safety will inadvertently put themselves in harm’s way.
IceBrowser.co announces its Beta launch of a new add-on browser designed to allow users to privately and securely access the Internet. IceBrowser is an effective way to prevent government and corporate trackers from invading online privacy and a virus-free environment by providing browser services from the most private countries in the world. IceBrowser will operate via the user-friendly Cocoon platform. Cocoon, the renowned web privacy add-on, will work in conjunction with Gerald Baton of IceBrowser.co to keep browsing data away from the prying eyes of corporations and governments by allowing you to surf from privacy-friendly countries, such as Iceland, thanks to the cloud.
The solution to this problem involves leveraging hardware and software at the bleeding edge of Internet and communications technology: the cloud. Many web surfers are already comfortable with the notion of storing documents, music, movies, and eBooks in the cloud. IceBrowser takes things one step further by storing all browser-related information- cookies, metadata, history – on its encrypted servers in Iceland and other safe countries like Norway or Switzerland. Coupling this new tactic with the already proven effectiveness of Cocoon’s superb malware protection and browsing security will ensure a potent defense against unwanted probing and tampering. Without taking this precaution, user data is free for marketers to use as research material or for governments to intrude on citizens’ private activities.
