Anonymous web browsing is browsing the World Wide Web while hiding the user's IP address and any other personally identifiable information from the websites that one is visiting. There are many ways of accomplishing anonymous web browsing. There are proxies that are usable, as well as programs such as TOR (The Onion Router), which sends information through a net of routers to hide the destination of information. However, anonymous web browsing is not completely anonymous, as there can still be traffic analysis and other programs used to counter things such as TOR and proxies.

Famous quotes containing the words anonymous, web and/or browsing:
“I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill
together.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
