“PrivacyX.com, the world’s first issuer of anonymous digital
certificates, announced today the primary release of the OpenSource
Anonymous Browsing source code. PrivacyX.com is calling upon
Internet Security professionals around the globe to participate in
this Net-revolutionizing project….”

The OpenSource Anonymous Browsing Project is an initiative
to build an open and secure, anonymous Web-based proxy system that
prevents unauthorized Web sites from collecting user information
and allows Internet users to surf the Net without having to
compromise their personal privacy.
Experience of the Internet
community has shown that the best way to produce safe, secure, user
empowering code is through the Open Source method. With the browser
source code being authored by the community for the community,
there will be many more minds and talents at work to ensure the
code is the best and most reliable code it can be.”

“The source code is now available online for anyone to download
and review, make suggestions, and submit code revisions. The source
code falls under an Open Source approved license, GNU GPL, meaning
that anyone who wishes to run their own installation of the code on
their Web site may do so royalty-free.”
