Browzar. Adware or Browser ?

Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 on September 4, 2006

Browzar is the latest addition to browsers for your computer. Browzar aims to be completely traceless: where other browsers leave all kind of trails, browsar doesn't.
Inforworld :

Browzar automatically deletes Internet caches, histories, cookies and auto-complete forms. Auto-complete is the feature that anticipates the search term or Web address a user might enter by relying on information previously entered into the browser.

Our collegues from Web3.0log
tested the application. Their verdict :

"New Secure Browser Browzar is Fake and Full of Adware".

Plenty of websites posted about Browzar without getting into the subject, showing how fragile reporting can be. Techcrunch :

Browzar appears to be nothing but a simple shell to IE which forces Overture ads on its own users. The creators didn't write a cache or history function, calling this a feature, and users are unable to change the search function or home page to anything other than Browzar ad results.

This sounds just like Microsoft software. People simply believe the lies spread by the creators and start complaining afterwards.
