It seems as though the newly released Browazar internet browser isn't so private after all. According to an article on the BBC's website, not only does it direct web searches to online advertisements, but some technical experts "...also say Browzar, which claims to leave no trail of webpages visited, does not work."
Using Internet Explorer as its basis, Browzar is a shell program that looks and feels similar to many web browsers, only one cannot change the default home page which is the Browzar search engine.
Mr. Ajaz Ahmed, founder and creator of Browzar, counters that it is not adware at all, that much like Google it's sponsored by advertising. That and he feels that it's default homepage setting for the Browzar search engine is simply similar to that of the Firefox open source browser.
