PirateBrowser is a web browser that allows users to access websites that are blocked by their internet service provider (ISP) or government. It is designed to give users privacy, security, and anonymity by using the Tor network and a modified version of the Firefox browser. It also includes a proxy configuration utility so that users can bypass internet censorship. PirateBrowser is designed to be easy to use and requires no additional software or plugins. It also encrypts all traffic, making it safe from surveillance and censorship. PirateBrowser is an open source project and is available for free for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Warning This application is suspected of malicious behavior, although these allegations are in dispute. The software allegedly connects to financial institution and government websites, and uses the PC for attacks against them. It disables SSL certificate checks and allows man-in-the-middle attacks to steal authentication credentials. It hooks into the browser and uses suspicious compression to hide parts of the program.
Bundleware The software displays ads and was bundled with browser hijackers in the past.
