I have heard of ghost browsers, but at work, they block email sites and joke sites... Even BORED.com ha ha. I guess I shouldn't be on bored.com at work anyway.
I am wanting to know if there is such a thing such as a browser that will allow me to search undetected by the routers tracking history and website blocking abilities. THANKS!!
from BORED AT WORK!

There is no way to browse completely undetected. Your work server logs will have a log of your computer doing something on the internet. If you use tor ( http://tor.eff.org/ ) and Firefox it'll make it almost impossible for them to know what you are looking at while at work, but they will still know that you are on the internet. Also, if the system administrator cared they could probably look at your Firefox history and temp files on your computer while you were online if you allow it to cache anything to disk. If you don't allow it to cache to disk, a really crafty system administrator could read the ram cache or simply use a program on your work computer to see everything you are doing and make a video of it and save it on their computer as evidence.
Additionally, they'll probably be able to figure out that you are using tor. Tor will probably be against their internet usage policy and they'll ask you to stop, or fire you. Tor is also quite slow due to the way it works.
My advice to you is to find more work to do at work, or do find something interesting like an online novel and read that if its allowed. Remember you company, not you owns your work computer. Your company has a right under U.S. law to restrict you from doing anything it feels like on your work computer, and the right to monitor what you do including e-mail. While work might be boring, at least you have a job and it pays you. Perhaps if work is so boring you should find a different job that is more exciting. Its also good to bear in mind that many workplace filters are in place to prevent sexual harassment and other potential lawsuits. If you need access to a website for a legitimate purposes related to your work, I'm sure your IT department will allow you to do so if you ask nicely.

they have special devices or software that catch that stuff i doubt you would be able to get around it without getting into trouble if they caught you.
