The Pirate Bay is celebrating 10 years of being in business by launching a free web browser that allow people in Iran, North Korea, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Ireland and anyone else who is censored by their government.
PirateBrowser is a bundle package of the Tor client (Vidalia) and FireFox Portable browser (with foxyproxy addon) and some custom configs. We see a lot of other uses for such a browser as well.
Officially, they say: "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."
Please note that your browser may warn you that the download is not safe. I personally found it comical that Chrome tried to block access to it.
