Anonymizers are the services that help make a user's own Web surfing anonymous. An anonymizer removes all the identifying information from a user's computer while the user surfs the Internet. It ensures the privacy of the user in this manner. After the user anonymizes a Web access with an anonymizer prefix, every subsequent link selected is also automatically accessed anonymously.

Explanation:
Anonymizers have the following limitations:
1. HTTPS: Secure protocols such as 'https:' cannot be properly anonymized, as the browser needs to access the site directly to properly maintain the secure encryption.
2.Plugins: If an accessed site invokes a third-party plugin, there is no guarantee of an established independent direct connection from the user computer to a remote site.
3.Java: Any Java application accessed through an anonymizer will not be able to bypass the Java security wall.
4.ActiveX: ActiveX applications have almost unlimited access to the user's computer system.
5.JavaScript: The JavaScript scripting language is disabled with URL-based anonymizers.
