Company Description:
enBrowser's technology uses secure, advanced techniques to enhance the user's web browsing experience. By scanning URLs, and search words, enBrowser matches advertisements with the userâs interests. For example, if we are looking for
music CD's, enBrowser may show us other CD's by that artist or other music sites relevant to that artist. This approach benefits the user by helping them find what they are looking for and alerts them to additional opportunities they may not
have been aware of. The advertising partner benefits as well, since they can effectively and precisely target their audience at the moment when the consumer would mostly like want their services. It uniquely combines state of the art technology with
precision targeting to deliver pertinent advertising at the right moment on the desktop without encroaching and compromising privacy.
