The Pirate Bay Releases It's Own Web Browser Aimed At Circumventing Censorship
The Pirate Bay, on completion of its 10 years, has released ‘Pirate Browser’ which it claims would allow people to access ‘The Pirate Bay’ and other such blocked sites.
The ‘Pirate Browser’ is a fully functional browser that currently works with Windows. One of the most controversial sites on the web has claimed that the browser doesn’t have any adware or toolbars bundled with it.
“It’s a simple one-click browser that circumvents censorship and blockades and makes the site instantly available and accessible. No bundled ad-ware, toolbars or other crap, just a Pre-configured Firefox browser”, notes TPB on its blog.
According to the Pirate Browser website, the browser is basically a bundled package consisting of the Tor client and Firefox Portable browser. The package also includes some tools meant for evading censorship in countries like UK, Finland, Denmark, Iran among others.
TPB has been recommending the use of proxy sites to browse the website from countries where it has been blocked. The torrent site is claiming that the new browser would effectively bypass any blockade enforced by ISPs. The Pirate Bay further notes, “This browser is just to circumvent censorship, to remove limits on accessing sites governments don’t want you to know about.”
This means that the Pirate Browser would allow users to browse websites like KickassTorrents, Fenopy and H33T which have been blocked by many countries including the UK. IsoHunt may also be accessed from Italy which was blocked earlier this month.
