PRIVATE BROWSING .....

Also Called "InPrivate Browsing" in Internet Explorer, "Private Browsing" in Firefox  and "Incognito mode" in Chrome is a Security Feature of Most Browsers

When you set your browser to this mode , your browser doesn't record any of your Browsing / Surfing Activities (such as sites visited/History, forms filled , password entered etc) its as if you never surfed the internet lol

This comes in Handy especially if you use a " Public Computer " or a Computer with more than 1 User, Eg .Computers at Internet Cafes .

To Surf the Internet using
Private Browsing Mode , open your Browser and Click


** for Internet Explorer = TOOLS >> InPrivate Browsing


**Mozilla FireFox = TOOLS >> START PRIVATE BROWSING 


** Google Chrome = Click on the 'spanner' icon by the address bar and click New Incognito window
