I can see the reflection of his computer screens from my desk, and he spends more of his day on MySpace than I spend on all of my sites combined... though that doesn't stop him from calling me out once a month about my "obsessive Internet use". (Ironically: I work for an Internet company.) The "powers that be" at the organization are beginning to notice that my boss sucks at more ways than one, and it's like he won't be with the company much longer... however, I wanted a site that is like the former "work friendly" site to keep him off my back until he leaves/gets canned.<br> <br> He's too stupid to use any tools which examine my Internet history and pages visited... so i don't have to worry about "covering my tracks"... not that I would even ave to.<br> <br> Any suggestions? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108388 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:13:27 -0800 Anonymous internet privacy work boss http://ask.metafilter.com/108388/WorkFriendlynet-has-been-gone-for-a-while-though-Im-looking-for-other-potential-websites-that-do-the-same-job#1561368 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostzilla">Ghostzilla</a> is a now-defunct 'invisible browser' project, runs from a USB key and embeds a greyed out browser page into whatever app you're using which can be called up and quickly dismissed with mouse gestures. <br> <br> Pretty much undetectable for anyone looking for the 'obvious' indicators of an open webpage (large, colourful images, flash banners, tabs etc). comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108388-1561368 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:19:54 -0800 Happy Dave http://ask.metafilter.com/108388/WorkFriendlynet-has-been-gone-for-a-while-though-Im-looking-for-other-potential-websites-that-do-the-same-job#1561369 <a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Browsers/Ghostzilla.shtml">Ghostzilla!</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108388-1561369 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:20:20 -0800 prefpara http://ask.metafilter.com/108388/WorkFriendlynet-has-been-gone-for-a-while-though-Im-looking-for-other-potential-websites-that-do-the-same-job#1561371 Oh, and it appears Ghostzilla has now been incorporated into a <a href="http://ghostfox.mozdev.org/">extension called GhostFox</a> that mimics the functionality, but means you don't have to move Bookmarks over and keep your other extensions etc. Which is cool. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108388-1561371 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:22:04 -0800 Happy Dave http://ask.metafilter.com/108388/WorkFriendlynet-has-been-gone-for-a-while-though-Im-looking-for-other-potential-websites-that-do-the-same-job#1561432 <a href="http://www.vanishd.com/">http://www.vanishd.com/</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108388-1561432 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:37:23 -0800 B(oYo)BIES
