As described on their website:

For 10 years, the leading web-based data security service Anonymouse is protecting the privacy and the informational self-determination (“the right of the individual to decide what information about himself should be communicated to others and under what circumstances”, Westin, 1970) of users in the internet world-wide. For free – because anonymity in the internet is a basic right for the operators of Anonymouse, which each citizen world-wide should be entitled to. Therefore, Anonymouse is protecting the civil rights, especially in totalitarian countries without civil rights whereas these rights are well-established in the free world.

In the digital world, where users are forced to reveal more and more personal data without beeing asked, this security is more important to protect the informational self-determination also in the internet. With Anonymouse this protection can be achieved easily. No installation of additional software is necessary, you just need an usual Internet browser and it is working on every computer system where an internet browser is available.
