Pirate Bay introduces Web browser to elude censorship

The Pirate Bay, one of the largest and most famous piracy sites on the Web for illegally downloading copyrighted material, has released what it claims is a customised browser that can circumvent censorship.

The browser, which is being released in conjunction with the group's 10-year anniversary, joins a version of Firefox, the open source Web browser, and a Tor client, the anonymous Web client. Unlike Tor, however, PirateBrowser does not provide anonymity to its users.

"Do you know any people who can't access TPB or other torrents-sites because they are blocked? Recommend PirateBrowser to them. It's a simple one-click browser that circumvents censorship and blockades and makes the site instantly available and accessible. No bundled ad-ware, toolbars or other crap, just a Pre-configured Firefox browser," wrote The Pirate Bay's "Winston" in a blog post yesterday.

PirateBrowser was made available for Windows on piratebrowser.com. Linux or Mac versions were not announced.
