eastbayted writes "InfoWorld reports a new web browser designed to protect users privacy is available for download. Called Browzar, it 'automatically deletes Internet caches, histories, cookies and auto-complete forms.' It also boasts a search engine, which the company will use to generate income. The 264KB application is the brainchild of Ajaz Ahmen, known for creating the U.K.'s first ISP Freeserve. The forthcoming version is for Windows only, but Mac and Linux versions will be available eventually."

That really isn't the same thing at all.

The Firefox Clear Private Data will destroy data from all your browsing, and thus lose useful things such as your history.

Safari's Private Browsing mode stops it collecting data in the first place, and crucially, only while it is active.
