xB Browser (formerly known as TorPark[5] and Xerobank browser[6]) was a web browser designed to run on both the Tor and XeroBank anonymity networks, and is available as component of the xB Machine[6] and the xB Installer.
It is designed for use on portable media such as a USB flash drive,[7] but it can also be used on any hard disk drive.[8] As such, a secure and encrypted connection to any of the Tor or XeroBank routers can be created from any computer with a suitable Internet connection,[8] and the browser clears all data that was created on the portable drive upon exit or on demand.[7]
In March 2007 it was reported that the xB Browser was downloaded 4 million times[7] and in February 2008 over 6.5 million downloads making xB Browser the most popular anonymous browser on the Internet.[9]
