InPrivate Browsing
Last modified: Thursday, May 21, 2009
A feature of the Internet Explorer 8 Web
browser that lets users surf the
Web
without browsing history, temporary Internet files, form data, cookies, and
usernames and passwords being retained by the browser. This is a more private
browsing option that, according to Microsoft, leaves no evidence of your
browsing or search history.
You can start InPrivate Browsing using Internet Explorer 8 by opening a new
tab and selecting Browse with InPrivate or selecting it from the Safety button
on the top right corner of the browser window. Internet Explorer 8 will launch a
new browser session that won't record any information. To end your InPrivate
Browsing session, simply close the browser window.
