Private Browsing in Safari Browser

July 5th, 2008 | View Comments

Any web browser like Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE usually saves the page information which you browsed, and it is usually helpful for you to have a check in future if necessary. But sometimes, you would try to browse something and don’t need that saved in the history of your browser.
That’s where Safari’s private browsing option can help you.

Just go to Safari’s main menu and select the option “Private Browsing” and a warning dialog box opens just as below -

And you can now browse anything with the option selected, and you don’t need to check the history as there would be nothing in the history of what you browsed in private. Though there is just a small thing you can’t stop from coming in and being saved – The Cookies. Those get saved but you don’t have to care about them.

Check the history here and see how the browser forgets to save the page browsing info while browsing privately – (I am browsing digg.com but it doesn’t show up in the history panel..)

You would think, when there is an option of deleting history, why to browse privately? It’s just because it would be hard for you to search for specific pages in history and delete them, and that’s why you just don’t have to get them saved and then delete them later.

    Nice feature of Safari. Firefox and IE will probably bring this feature in pretty soon as well. Since most web-apps use cookies, it would really make web pages less functional if you disable them.

    Well, that’s something I didn’t know. I used Safari for awhile as a browser but it loaded sites painfully slow and froze up often though.
