Start the browser in stealth mode without leaving a trace of footprint

Introduction to Private Browsing mode

Browser is an essential tool to surf the Internet, when we surf the internet every day, the browser will faithfully record every step of the user's footprint, so some people began to worry about whether personal privacy will be leaked, especially when the need to use others or public computers. Of course, on privacy issues, browser developers do not ignore, so our daily use of browsers provide a clear view of the record of the function. But it may be better to let the browser not record the information on the Internet, so the "private browsing" mode is logically appearing in the browser product.

At present, such as IE8/9/10, Chrome, Firefox, opera and other major independent core browsers have a similar "private browsing" features, although their naming slightly different, but the function is actually the same, the following first to do a simple introduction:

The starting mode is: Click the "Tool"-"safe"-"InPrivate" in the upper right corner of IE panel, or create a new tab, click "InPrivate Browse" below the common website, and "Ctrl+shift+p" via the shortcut key.

Startup method: Click "Customize and Control" in the upper right corner of the main interface-"new stealth window", or "Ctrl+shift+n" new by shortcut key.
