What is Private Browsing?

Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit

                       As you browse the web, Browser remembers lots of information for you: sites you've visited,files you've downloaded, and more.There may be times, however, when you don't want other users on your computer to see this information, such as when shopping for a birthday present.
Private Browsing allows you to browse the Internet without saving any information about which sites and pages you’ve visited. This article explains what information is not saved when in Private Browsing and gives you step-by-step instructions for using it.

               Google Chrome has new Incognito Window for private Browsing that can be opened by clicking the Google Chrome menu on the top right corner, below the close button(three parallel horizontal lines) and the click to the New Incognito Window.
