Virtual-Browser is up and running again, recovering from being smacked around by Digg, Del.icio.us, and Slashdot users. There is also another site called AnonymousInet which works the same as the Virtual-Browser.

It’s great to see how people would use this. I was excited to get my husband to try to use it from work since they just put in a major prevention filter that blocks EVERYTHING except what they think the workers need. Unfortunately, that also cut off sites my husband relies on for information for his work. He’s submitted a request to have those added, but in the interim, and it’s a long interim, we thought this would work. Unfortunately, the site is still off line. Poop.

Sometimes when I’m doing a report in school, I need to get online to retrieve some information, and the school proxy restricts my access to some site (not sure why, not a site for minor), and I need to find a free proxy to bypass it. This process can be quite tedious. With this web HTTP I’m sure it’ll make things easier.

I rarely use these kind of services though, especially if I’m just commenting on an article. But IMHO the ability to strip potentially malicious scripts and deny tracking cookies is quite useful.

I wonder will these kind of services will help speed up my internet connection to some european sites? Often times I find UK or Russian sites to be extremely slow to open from where I am now. (Taiwan)

Just my thought on this
