Firefox Joins 'Private Browsing' Club
What happens on the Internet stays on the Internet — at least in porn mode. Firefox is the latest browser to announce a "privacy" feature to be released in October (some call it "porn mode") in which no records are kept of where you go and what you look at on the Internet. Cookies are rejected, URLs are kept out of the browser history, forms are not auto-filled, and pages are not cached. The result is a browser session that never happened — from the browser’s point of view. Apple Inc.’s Safari pioneered the idea three years ago, and recently Microsoft Corp. announced that IE (Internet Explorer) 8 will ship with "InPrivate." Google’s new Chrome browser offers an "Incognito" mode. Clearly an idea whose time has come. Read all about it on Webmonkey.
