Obscures browsing activity
Smokescreen runs on your computer and obfuscates your browsing habits by independently exploring the internet. Any party who can observe the activity from your IP address will have a reduced understanding of your true browsing habits. Search commercial sites to reduce the effectiveness of targeted ads, or political blogs to obscure your political affiliation. Smokescreen is an example of a personal agent, a piece of software that acts independently for the benefit of its user.
