What does Private Browsing Mode do? What is it?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Internet and Networking, Security

For most of the users on the Internet, privacy and security are two issues of extreme importance when it comes to browsing.

New browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 have already introduced a new private browsing mode in the core called Incognito and InPrivate respectively.

Some detailed features of the private browsing mode are.

  • All cookies are only stored in memory and flashed as soon as the session ends.
  • The visited sites will not be stored to the history.
  • Only memory cache will be used and will be switched to disk cache as soon as session ends.
  • Passwords will not autofill, but will be available for autocomplete.
  • Autocomplete will be available, but will not remember data entered.
