How to use and what is Private Browsing on Mac and Win 11

Dan Uff March 16, 2024 0 1

This tip will cover what Private Browsing IS, and how to use it with the default web browsers in Mac and Windows.

What is Private Browsing?

Private browsing, also known as incognito mode or private mode, is a feature available in web browsers that allows users to browse the internet without leaving any traces of their online activity on their device. When you use private browsing, the browser initiates a temporary session separate from its main session and user data. In this mode:

Your search/browsing history, cookies, site data, passwords, addresses, form data, and more are not saved to your browser.

The sites you visit aren’t added to your download history, and images and files aren’t cached.

Autofill data and site permissions aren’t collected.

Trackers and third-party toolbars are disabled, so you won’t see any targeted ads related to your private browsing session after you close the window.

While private browsing decreases your visibility online, keep in mind that your IP address and other essential data may still be visible to your school, employer, or service provider.

That's it.

How to enable Private Browsing in Windows 11:

Open Microsoft Edge.
Open the menu by selecting the three dots in the upper right corner of your window.

Microsoft has announced that it has launched a new CoPilot featured called COPILOT PRO.

You gain access to the GPT-4 Turbo mode and the ability to summarize large paragraphs of text in Microsoft Word, the ability to write better emails in Outlook, the ability to create entire PowerPoint presentations using text prompts, a higher image generator limit, and more. What’s neat about this is the fact that you will be able to use these features with the free version of Microsoft 365. So, you don’t have to pay a separate subscription price to access AI features on a service that you already paid monthly for.

And while watching television has historically been considered a passive experience, one where you can sit back and enjoy your favorite programs, we’re building one that is uniquely YouTube that gives viewers the opportunity to engage with the content they’re watching, even on the big screen. As watchtime on TVs has grown to more than 1 billion hours per day, we’re faced with a fun challenge: How can we bring familiar YouTube features and interactivity to the living room while ensuring that the video remains at the center of the experience?
