Pros
- Based off the Firefox Portable browser, and impliments many of the same features that FireFox Portable does.
- PirateBrowser is small enough to run from a USB flashdrive without any problems, but won't take up much space on a harddrive either.
- Lets users bypass internet blocks easily, and the program itself is easy to download with no installation required.
Cons
- PirateBrowser can unblock most banned websites. This is due to its design to provide access to a select handful of torrent sites.
- The privacy claim is a bit misleading and may give users a false sense of security, because the program cannot offer total anonymity when web browsing.
- This program does not include a BitTorrent client for downloads.
- Some default Firefox protections are actually disabled in this browser.
- Additionally, PirateBrowser does not feature ad blocking to protect users from annoying ads or potential ad related viruses and scams.
PirateBrowser is a web browser, modeled after the popular Firefox Portable browser, that grants users a certain amount of anonymity when accessing sites like the Pirate Bay, a popular website used for hosting, looking up, and downloading torrents. This web browser allows users to bypass web blocks implemented by governments and companies while protecting their privacy and keeping them completely anonymous for secure web surfing.
At a mere 29 MB, PirateBrowser is small enough to run from a USB flash drive. It simplifies the process of bypassing internet blocks without the use of online software and without requiring the user to find a new circumvent URL every few weeks, regardless of which country the user is from. This is actually one of PirateBrowser's key features, because it allows users to bypass blocks quickly and free of hassle to reach banned torrent websites. However, PirateBrowser doesn't work for anything other than torrent websites - about twenty of them.
