Anonymizer Inc., a provider of Internet-privacy software and services, announced the release of a new plug-in tool for Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer (IE) browsers on Tuesday which lets users surf the Web anonymously.

The plug-in adds a button to the IE toolbar which, if clicked upon, lets users visit Web sites anonymously by preventing visited sites from tracing visitors' identities back beyond Anonymizer's proxy servers. The plug-in thus makes it impossible for Web sites to identify users' IP addresses and place cookies in users' machines. The free service runs in the background...

Previously, Web surfers needed to type in a Web site address in a box on the Anonymizer.com site. Anonymizer would then display the Web site requested.

The free version of Anonymizer's tool does not permit browsers to visit secure sites like a Hotmail e-mail account or online bank accounts.

The faster US$50 pay version provides for secure site access, as well as ad filtering and blocking functions.
