There are some downsides to the browser however. While the brwoser itself provides the user with anonymity, the same does not hold true for other internet applications that the user may want to run through the browser, so users should not be lulled into a false sense of security.

The biggest drawback to Torpark, however, is that it runs at a snail's pace and on some the bigger slower loading sites can even time out.

There's no doubt that Torpark will grab a small market segment of privacy conscious web surfers.

However, a large proportion of web surfers have become accustomed to a personalised web surfing experience when visiting their favourite web sites and are prepared to have cookies on their hard drives which identify them when they land on bookmarked sites. {moscomment}
