ThankSoft releases Mask Surf 1.0

Mask Surf is an all-in-one online privacy solution that lets you protect your identity when surfing the Internet and clean your browser traces accumulated on your computer every day. The latter may include the information about your surfing habits, recent web sites, how often you visit those sites and files you have downloaded. Mask Surf is available for a small, one-time fee instead of monthly subscription payments, which is typical for anonymizer services.

Mask Surf allows you to mask your identity or make it completely invisible to the eyes of other people. You can easily mask or hide the information related to your OS type, browser, system language, as well as the IP address, which you come from. Quick tuning is available from the Options dialog box that you can access by right-clicking on the Mask Surf icon in the tray.

The Options dialog box may also include the list of anonymous proxy servers that you can use to hide your real identity. Proxy addresses should be added by the user prior to surfing the Internet. Once you are online, you can switch your proxy with one click even if you use several browsers at a time. You do this by right-clicking on the Mask Surf icon in the tray and selecting the "Change proxy" option from the pop up menu.

With the same, one-click simplicity, you can clean your Internet usage information. Cleaning is fully configurable. You can selectively configure Mask Surf to clean cache, URL cache, forms and passwords, cookies, and downloads history. If you use several browsers, you can configure these options for each of them individually. Currently, Mask Surf supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla Suite and Mozilla Firefox. Available for Windows 98ME2000XP.
