Exclamation "zero-footprint" browser

Hello there,
One of these days i stumbled on one article
Browser wars - SC Magazine US
It is about browser wars Fx vs.IE
At the foot of this article there is a subtitle about so called “zero-footprint” browser that seems to provide enhanced security in
web surfing rather then Fx and IE
Its called e-Capsule Private Browser
I have found info about one in wiki Private Browser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Have anyone heard or tried it

Interersting, but i'll stick with Firefox.

But will there ever be a truly 100% secure browser...? - Me thinks not.

Just like some household domestic cleaning fluids will only ever claim to kill %99.9 of bacteria...

There is no such thing as zero foot print or 100% secure. It is a myth.

The zero footprint is still traceable since you would have to go thru a proxy which can be traced back to your ISP and you. Same thing for the 100% secure. Look at Macs. For the longest time they ahve clamied superiority to Windows cause of 2 reason. 1. More secure and 2. No viruses.

Well both have been debunked now. 1. OS X has had more patches to it than Windows lately. 2. McAffee and Norton are working on a AV for OSX.

So that just shows you that given enough time any software that gets attention will start to get hacked. There is no such things as a 100% secure code. There is always a flaw with enough patience and time.

I suppose its just like all those programs that claim to make you 100% anonymous on the internet. Not possible.
