Ghost Of Browser - Browsing Internet Secretly

Ghostzilla browser for Windows is a tool that shields you from the looks of people around you, when they try to see if you are surfing the Web.
With Ghostzilla, they see your normal work screen. You see the Web page, drawn to appear inside your work application and to look like that application to a bystander


for a detailed description please click read more.

If someone comes too close, move the mouse away from the Web page and it disappears, leaving the original application frame. When the coast clears, another mouse move brings Ghostzilla and the Web page back inside your application.
The browser always has only one window, framed in your work application, but you can surf multiple pages at once in different tabs. Needless to say,
popup ads can't exist. You are not even bothered by the in-page ads -- any non-tiny image is hidden unless you hover the mouse over its frame.

It uses a clever approach that completely integrates the browser interface into virtually any application interface as well as Windows Explorer.

In addition, it changes the web page colors and appearance to a discreet black and white document style that nicely blends with most business type documents. Even if your boss was standing right behind you, he would probably never suspect, that what you re looking at is a live web page.

To further disguise the web page, all large pictures are initially hidden and only shown when you hold your mouse over each. The Ghostzilla browser uses the Mozilla browsing engine and supports all the web standards.

The browser interface can be called via a secret mouse movement and instantly hidden when your mouse changes focus. A true must-have app for any surfing addict!

Features:

· adapts to all applications
· full Web standards support
· multi-page (tabbed) browsing
· disabled pop-up windows
