IE 8's porn mode

[goobimama]

^^ Hey! Stop changing the name. I thought we had settled on Porn mode. It is more meaningful than Private Browsing.

Im pretty sure Private browsing is not Safari First... It has been a part of Opera (Delete Private Data) for a very long time (as early as version 5 at least - see *privacy.getnetwise.org/sharing/tools/opera5/cachedelete )... That was even before Firefox was born I think...

^^ AFAIK, delete private data option in opera again erases all the history.. You can't specify which site details to remove from history..

^true . HOwever u can remove individual sites from the history panel. BUt more importantly..

Others who would be using the same computer will definitely wonder exactly what kind of sites do you browse that you don't want others to learn about.

What kind of genius uses the same browser that his family uses to hunt porn??

 

[prasad_den]

Problem with deleting sites from history panel is that, yu can still see the site name from the drop box in the address field..

Even Safari has had the "Restore Safari" mode where it clears cache and cookies and such. But Private Browsing is definitely a Safari first, and it is a good one at that.

Private browsing can be achieved in Firefox without any additional add-ons too. I felt, posting the steps in my blog is more suitable than posting the whole stuff here.

Re: IE 8's InPrivate Mode

LOL! You guys seriously are Microsoft haters! Only for p0rn?

Offtopic: No... its the browser.. IE makes p0rn look ugly and crappy.. and.. and.. you know which browser makes it look awesome

Ontopic: My brother often uses my computer to make online payment and transactions and even after repetedly telling him to cleaar up the data he forgets to do that. The private browsing mode is really a much needed feature.

What makes you think that someone who forgets to remove the private data after doing the job will remember to turn private browsing on before starting and off after the job is done?

Seems like my post will satisfy you.

It both prompts you to choose the mode and then automatically forgets the mode for next start-up.

OMG! Do all that instead of hitting Edit > Private Browsing? Seems a hell of a lot different to me!

@arya: IE is configurable and defenetly there will be a configuration setting to turn it on permanently.I say this as a developer point of view..

As already mentioned by others, there are add-ons to achieve typical private browsing comfortably. What I gave is for those who are not interested in installing too many add-ons (like me).

Also it is a one time setup and also ensures that you consciously select private mode.

Though yeah, that is a much easier way.
One click will fulfill you until you quit.

Even Google Chrome has a Private mode
