Yes, it also uses AdBlock Plus with the Filterset G updater, and a whole host of other plugins and internal features and settings. It technically doesn't require an installation, but most people prefer one. It doesn't use registry entries to operate on your system so you can "install" it to a USB key if you like. I see most people in this forum don't have any idea what they are talking about, so I'll explain a little about these features. Yes, it finds things that your NOD32 misses, because antivirus/malware doesn't care or understand about anonymity, while xB Browser does. It locates Yahoo Sign & Seal and other flash cookies and removes them. Most people also don't realize that virus scanners miss about 40% - 60% of viruses out there, so yes there is a LOT of room for their improvement. Destroying flash cookies is just one of them. xB Browser is based on the open-source firefox browser, and automatically anonymizes traffic into the Tor (slow) or XeroBank (fast) network. The whole point is that it doesn't *appear* to be more than a browser, because it has been made so easy to use. Happily, I guess it accomplishes that as people don't seem to be able to figure out how it works. Luckily the source code is available for all to see.

Thanks for the detailed insight. Now I KNOW I'm not going to look it over!
