A group-browsing system for a plurality of clients each including a shared
web browser when browsing non-secure parts of a web site. A server is
linked to the shared web browser of each client and is configured to
monitor the transmission of the web site URL request from the shared web
browser of one client of the group and to direct the request to the
shared web browser of other clients in the group. A gatekeeper module is
configured to first mask the identity of each client's computer on the
shared browser. This prevents the web site from retrieving any client's
actual identifier. Second, the gatekeeper is also configured to create a
same temporary identifier for each client when any client logs on to the
web site so that the same web page is displayed for all the clients in
the group. When browsing secure parts of a web site, a non-shared web
browser is executed instead of using the shared web browser to avoid
sharing sensitive or personal information.
