It is designed for use on portable media such as a USB flash drive,[2] but it can also be used on any hard disk drive.[3] As such, a secure and encrypted connection to any of the Tor or XeroBank routers can be created from any computer with a suitable Internet connection,[3] and the browser clears all data that was created on the portable drive upon exit or on demand.[2]
In 2007, TorPark was rebranded as xB Browser. At the time, it claimed 4 million downloads.[2] and in February 2008 over 6.5 million.[4]
History
Steve Topletz co-released Torpark v.1.5.0.7 with CULT OF THE DEAD COW/Hacktivismo on 19 September 2006[5][6] after more than one year of development based on Portable Firefox web browser with built in support for Tor.[7][8]
Network usage
xB Browser routes Internet traffic through the Tor network, obscuring the originating IP address and encrypting the data.[2]
xB Browser is optimized for use on the XeroBank anonymity network, which is a private and commercial broadband network operated by Xero Networks AG.[9]
Features
Besides the anonymous networks, xB Browser uses following add-ons:
- Adblock Plus,[10]
- Cookies and Flash cookies removal,[2][4]
- Browser history clearing after closing[2]
