ZenMate is a simple to use browser add-on or extension which promises online anonymity.–PC Pitstop.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

Simple Browser Add-On for Privacy<\/h4>\n

by Richard Pedersen for Daves Computer Tips<\/p>\n

Edward Snowden will undoubtedly go down in history as the man who irrevocably changed the world\u2019s perception of online privacy forever. Personally, I think it\u2019s disgraceful that we should even need specific software dedicated to protecting our privacy from snooping governments, advertizing companies, and the myriad of other organizations who spy on and trade off our online activities.<\/p>\n

I do believe that some users tend to take precautions to the extreme, however, in today\u2019s privacy-centric online community, dedicated privacy software of some kind or another has become pretty much obligatory.<\/p>\n

One such software is a browser add-on (or extension) called ZenMate<\/a> \u2013 available for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera \u2013 which promises complete anonymity by routing traffic through its VPN cloud-network of secure servers.<\/p>\n

ZenMate \u2013 Is It Free?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems the full featured ZenMate is free to use for the moment but not forever.<\/p>\n

If you refer back to the second screenshot from the top, you\u2019ll see that I\u2019ve highlighted a section of text \u2013 Thank you for using ZenMate! You have unlimited free data during our launch phase.<\/p>\n

ZenMate makes it clear on the official site that they intend to eventually offer both Free and Premium versions, at which time the Free version will obviously involve limitations. What is not clear is how long this \u201claunch phase\u201d will last, so, at his stage, there is no indication of how long unlimited free data will be included before payment is required.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
