Whenever you visit any website on the internet, your browser stores certain information in its record. This information contains details about your session time, visited web pages, passwords, website preferences and many other similar facts. These details can be easily tracked and restore by anyone who can access your computer. If you are using a public computer then it is better to use the private browsing facility that allows you to browse any website without saving it in the history of your browser. This feature is very useful in such cases like you are planning to buy a surprise gift online and don’t want to disclose this information to anyone.
There are many applications available which provide you a private browsing facility, however in this tutorial we use Mozilla browser which comes up with a built-in private browsing feature. It is important to note that private internet browsing doesn’t mean surfing the internet anonymously. Internet Service Provider or the website which you are visiting can still record your browsing activities.
Follow this step by step tutorial to learn how to browse privately by using Mozilla Firefox.
