Private Browsing Makes Debut in Latest Nightly Build

Private Browsing in Firefox 

A of noise has been made about the excitement around private browsing.  Personally, this isn’t the feature I have been waiting for years to see, but it is nice to see Firefox keeping up with the competition and adding this feature in.  With this new mode (coming to Firefox 3.1) your browsing, cookies, temporary files, search, forms, and download history will not be saved.

Best thing about it that I have seen is that they will not interrupt the interface with some big bold “Hey you, you are browsing privately now” graphic.  You just get the simple (Private Browsing) in the title bar.

So are you excited to see private surfing added to Firefox or is this one of those “ehh, I guess it is ok” features for you too? Learn more about it at ehsanakhgari.org

    @Chloe:
    It's sad that you associate privacy with perversion.
    What about: browsing on public computers, browsing at work for stuff unrelated to the work (on your break) etc.
  • I think its great for folks like me who check great sites like this at work and would love all traces left on the site here not on my PC at work. If you are a pervert, private browsing still won't get you past your firewall settings.

    Better name for it might be "pervert mode". ;D

    Private browsing is not of interest to me. I am more concerned with secure browsing -- the more secure Firefox becomes the better. And fast is good too.
