Privacy Arms Race Takes Another Step

Posted by michael on from the missiles-in-cuba dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is an ongoing arms race between privacy tools and info harvesters (spammers, advertisers, marketers, bosses, governments). In the latest move in this battle Anonymizer has released a new version of its privacy service. The Register has an article on the new version. CNET has the press release if you want the company line."

    But this has some problems. I just tried it, and my favorite site to surf from work is blocked! I can't get to monster.com !!! You have to pay for the unrestricted version to get access to "the web's most popular sites." What crap! Also annoying, because popular sites must come out of their cache, Slashdot.org (my second favorite site to surf from work!) does not have the most current stories. It is going to be hard to post an anoymous First Post with this servce! I like the idea, but I consider this slashdot story to be a clever advertisment of a new product, and has the 2 best geek buzzwords: pivacy and security
