What is Private Browsing?

Private Browsing is a special feature that is made available by web browsers that allows you to access the web, leaving no trail behind. If you enable Private Browsing on any of your Web Browsers, once you close the browsing window, there would be no trace of your activities such as, No History left, no cookies would be stored, no password would be remembered. In face I make use of Private Browsing (known as Incognito in Chrome, Private browsing in Mozilla and InPrivate Browsing in Internet Explorer) whenever I use a friend’s or Cafe’s Personal computer to access the web.

How To Activate Incognito In Google Chrome

It is quite easy to enable incognito (private browsing) in your Google Chrome Web Browser by following the below steps.

Launch your Chrome Browser, click on settings on the right side of the address bar, then click on “New Incognito Window”. It is shown below.
