Chrome is arguably one of the most popular browsers. It far exceeds Internet Explorer and Firefox. Indeed, it is faster and easier to use. Its only drawback is the lack of anonymity.
While browsing the Internet, we sometimes need to hide our identity due to online censorship, to escape the company's HTTP filter or to surf anonymously.
You should know that there are mainly two ways tobe anonymous on the net. The first is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) while the second is touse a web proxy.
