If it's Private Browsing that you are referring to, I use it several times per day. Not because I do a lot of "dirty" surfing, but because I for some reason have recently started forcing myself not to leave any URL I won't visit more than one time in my history.

If you wonder what it actually does, at least in Firefox, is basically making sure that as long as you are in private browsing mode, you leave no traces behind on the computer you've used. That is, history, cookies, cache and plenty of other things that could be used to otherwise identify which sites you've been visiting.

Seems to only work in Firefox?
Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome.

I use a whole separate browser for 'private browsing'. Doesn't retain cookies, session or history.

In Chrome I'm using a white-list for cookies also. I'm sick of all those ad tracking cookies, and it's fun to see how some websites fail completely without cookies.

Correct, it is used in Firefox for private browsing. I use it from time to time when I have borrow someone's computer and whatnot or someone has to borrow mine. It's annoying after a while to have like 12 people show up on a login of sites etc. and I really don't have a need to know what people are doing on my PC.

Jaru says it's ctrl + shift + N on chrome? Interesting. Another option. :P

But I concur, cookies are damn annoying at times. I know that clearing my cache using CCleaner at times, Chrome has like 140MB of whatever it is of normal browsing.

Safari was supposed to be one of the first to implement it...

Not there anymore.  You have to hit Safari --> Private Browsing

Does that mean you're "clean" or just fearless?

Me personally, I don't need it... at least not any more :P

There must a be a reason for tanking things. And all must be in certain balance.
But what that balance is, must depend only on you, nobody else.

Like Tatsujin, nobody else touches my PC without fearing my wrath of "why did you do that? I was running xxx! You realise you could have just destroyed my hard drive?"

After doing that a couple of times they leave it alone.

For Chrome's private browsing, you can just add -incognito after the shortcut's target to have it always launch in private browsing. Can you do something similar in other browsers?
