http://www.ghostzilla.com/Creates a browser window in almost any host application, very cool, yet very evil.
I think I will have to flag this one in my network audits ;)
That's really neat, though I can't think of many applications that don't involve hiding one's browsing from others...
It is certainly not "evil" (see below), and the guys behind it are very much the opposite:

Using Ghostzilla
Do not use Ghostzilla to surf pornographic or offensive Web sites. You will get caught.
Whether you use Ghostzilla, Internet Explorer, or any other browser, there is almost always a log of Web sites that users access. The log is kept on your network's main server; your network administrator can search that log file for names of offensive sites, and find out who has been visiting those.
Use Ghostzilla instead to learn, read news, and stay informed. Use it at times when you would otherwise be unproductive anyway. Most environments expect people to spend more time in the office than they can physically be productive. Use Ghostzilla to fill that gap with knowledge about science, culture, finances, sports... anything you like to make the best of your time. Use it to do your personal email. (You can email Web pages from home to your personal Web email like hotmail, and read it later with Ghostzilla.) Bring e-books on a USB key drive and read them with Ghostzilla. Use Ghostzilla to refresh when you need mental breaks from working, but do not use it instead of working.
Ghostzilla is not spyware. You can download Ghostzilla source code; everything but the image-rendering library is open-source.
Read carefully the welcome page when you start Ghostzilla, especially about changing the Hiding Level, shrinking and enlarging fonts in Web pages, and multi-page browsing.

*If you are fortunate to have a responsible and important job, where your full attention to what is going on on the screen is vital, please do not use Ghostzilla.*
^ These guys are great!
... curious how well it disables "embedded" ads such as Macromedia, IFrame, etc.
"see below": apparently until January 2005 they had made it go "bye bye" due to an attack of conscience or something:

http://www.ghostzilla.com/guestbook/guestb...isplayBegin=268I'm glad to see they wised up, I mean imagine a manufacturer of chainsaws deciding to remove them from the marketplace, because of a few idiots who mimic a certain famous movie... :rolleyes:
I just dont get it. Its like a marketting ploy :P or stuff is sooooo bad, we better remove it. On second thought, lets bring it back :P
It's like selling bags with dollar signs on them, "we know you could use these to rob a bank but don't, it's bad"
