We all want our
personal and confidential data safe from others, especially on the internet.
Every website collects the data, your system admin or network admin can collect
your browsing data, the ISP can check whatever you are doing on the internet
and finally, your web browsers keep a tab of what you visit and what you do on
the internet. The last one is easy to realise. Have you seen how the web
browser can guess which website you want after you type a few letters of the
URL, if you have visited the website previously using that browser? How does it
do that? By keeping a record of the browsing history. You can check this
history as well, the tab is given in popular browsers like Firefox or Chrome.
What
is private browsing? It is when you are telling
your browser to stop tracking you online. It is called Incognito Browsing in
Chrome and private browsing in Firefox. When you turn this on, the browser
doesn't keep any record of your online activities for this session and doesn't
track you. The elements which help the websites and the browsers to keep your
track, the cookies, the caches and browsing history, all are disabled in the
private browsing session.
