The Benefits of Surfing the Internet Anonymously

The Benefits of Surfing the Internet Anonymously
By Pauline Go

We come across so many so-called secure and safe sites that one wonders whether our personal information and data is actually safe. The reason why so many people are choosing to surf anonymously on the Internet is not because they have something to hide but because they want to ensure that their personal data is safe.

Many Internet users are gradually using proxies more often than before. They are doing it for a reason. Many search engines like Google are now tracking each and every search that a user makes. I know many people who are not comfortable knowing that Google wants to keep a track of their searches; and these are honest people genuinely looking for information without indulging in anything wrong or bad. After who would want a third party they do not know to keep a track and store information about their Internet use? It is an invasion of privacy.

Another benefit for surfing the Internet anonymous is avoiding online advertisements. Many online advertisement companies keep track of Internet users so that they can send irritating pop-up advertisements. Then there are some companies who use the tracking method to sell information to other companies, who in return send you irritating advertisements. This means using these methods anyone can keep a track of your Internet use.

Many opponents of proxy surfing feel that there is no need for anonymous surfing because the latest version of Internet Explorer has a privacy mode which is sufficient to protect an Internet surfer. This is definitely true when it comes to companies tracking people's searches and Internet habits but the same cannot be said about websites who keep a track of their visitors.

Surfing the Internet anonymously through proxies is considered to be the only way if you want to protect your privacy.
