<p>{% trans -%}It’s a web browser, like all others it enables you to browse and search the web. I2P Browser is however very focused on the privacy rights of the user and does not favour a company’s income in trade of the users privacy. As of the writing moment I2P browser is made to work with I2P, but with some adjustments it should just as well work with Tor or on the internet.{%- endtrans %}</p> </span>

<p>{% trans %}When you connect to a website, it is not only the operators of that website who can record information
about your visit.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}Most websites now use numerous third-party services, including social networking “Like” buttons,
analytics trackers, and advertising beacons, all of which can link your activity across different sites. And because
of that, the I2P Browser is designed to prevent websites from “fingerprinting” or identifying you based on your
browser configuration. By default, I2P Browser does not keep any browsing history. Cookies are only valid for a single
session (until I2P Browser is exited or a New Identity is requested).{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}A key feature is that I2P Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime,
and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. We do not recommend installing additional
add-ons or plugins into I2P Browser even the user is free to do so. Plugins or addons may bypass I2P or compromise
your privacy. I2P Browser already comes with NoScript, and other patches to protect your privacy and security.{% endtrans %}</p>

The I2P Browser was therefore made to extend the user base of I2P to non-super technical people and make it a worthy alternative to Tor.{%- endtrans %}</p> <p>{% trans -%}The main reason we made it is because as any other very technical project it can be hard for mr smith in

<p>{% trans -%}It’s for both technical and non technical people who wish to protect their privacy either because of preferences or safety, no matter who they are and where they are. It should make a lot of potential dangers harmless for these people that they will encounter on the internet. For example stop spying software that’s targeted or not. It also per default disables a lot of features which are questionable in terms of security and privacy concerns.{%- endtrans %}</p> <p>{% trans -%}It’s for both technical and non technical people who wish to protect their privacy either because of
