Private Browsing rocks!
Are you like me Pie People? Are you a wonderful, sexually, self gratifying person? Do you like to ride the heavenly road that is the internet, perusing all the sexiness and extravagant decadence that is out there?
Well that’s all good and well, but what happens when we use the internet for such things? We build up a nasty little trail of information that’s what; a concise user history chronicling our every cyber-move - web sites, visited, times, dates, oh yes it’s all there… or at least… it was.
Rejoice people of the world; finally the pantaloon dropping nerds have taken a little power back and instilled some of themselves in the latest version of browsers such as Google’s Chrome, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, and Mozilla’s Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 with a little something called Private Browsing.
Sounds saucy doesn’t it? Well in this application it is. You see with Private Browsing, or “Porn Mode” as it is quickly becoming known, you will be able to surf the net until you go blind, and no trace will be left of your activity. That’s right friends… too scarred to log-in to bigguns.com at work? Well log away! Worried that those naked amateur sites might pop up on the hard drive next time the IT dept takes it for a service? Well fret no longer.
With Private Browsing our travels are exactly that… ours. The aim of good old Porn Mode is to cease the electronic logging of your web usage; so no more frantic attempts to erase the internet history when your boss wants the laptop back for the weekend, you will be left to surf at your discretion without leaving any unwanted fingerprints.
When discussing the new feature in an online blog, Firefox programmer Ehsan Akhgar said that the new feature does not keep users anonymous from websites or their Internet service provider, but that it's about making sure "that Firefox doesn't store any data which can be used to trace your online activities, no more, no less."
Awesome.
