Firefox 3.1 and IE8 are bringing private browsing feature. So what's that private browsing all about?

If you've closed the browser, and there are no traces of the websites you visited in the browser's history, cookies or temporary files, that's what we call private browsing. In Private browsing the browser does not store any information about where you have been and what you have done. It doesn't make you hidden to your ISP , it only hides your work that you have done during private browsing interval from other users of the same computer.

Entering private browsing mode is simple.

Click-: Tools > Private Browsing.
Private Browsing dialog window will be opened.
Click-: Start Private Browsing to start the private session.

From this point on, no history, cookies, files or bookmarks will be stored in your PC.
To end the private browsing session, go to Tools > Private Browsing and uncheck the option.
All your private tabs will be closed.

Enjoy!!
