what are vmware and virtualization?

Thanks Ethrem and Jarhead for the very useful information.

In my situation, I am looking for a solution in which I will be treated as having two totally different computer or operating environment while I am on the same single PC.

We know that any websites, services or applications could silently, unnoticeably collect your hardware and software information in order to "fingerprint" your identity on the internet. When you are using the same service with different accounts / identities on the same computer, it's possible that their systems could recognize or put you into the special list of surveillance in their systems.

If I had many computers I think this would not be a concern. I could login different accounts with different computers. However, physically it is not possible because of budget reasons. Would virtualization or virtual machines work well for my situation?

btw, I've found Oracle VM VirtualBox which is free. Is it Good enought? Any opinion?
