How to Enable Private Browsing on Any Browser

To improve online privacy and protect sensitive data while surfing the web, private browsing is an important feature. This function, which is especially useful for shared or public computers, prevents the browser from saving the history, cookies, or other session data when it is turned on. Private browsing provides an additional layer of privacy while logging into accounts, shopping, or researching sensitive topics, but it does not make you completely anonymous online.


This document will guide you through the process of enabling private browsing in many prominent browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Each browser has its version, like Firefox's Private Browsing or Chrome's Incognito Mode. You will learn how to activate private browsing and fully use its advantages in security and privacy.
