In Private Browsing, the browser did not save the browsing history and ,password and saved content. But if you are thinking that you are safe ads,malware attack,viruses and ISP monitoring then you are thinking wrong ,many of the people are unaware of these things.
In last few years its very common feature in the browser for private browsing and the main goal of this functionality was to protect the user privacy. In the private browsing window generally there is a dark theme and icon of masked this tells the user that are browsing anonymously. This type of browsing in chrome is known as Incognito Window and in Safari browser or in mozilla firefox its known as Private Browsing.
Here the concern is that many of the users think that it will protect him malware attack,ads and viruses but its not that.
In the private window when we are browsing then the cookies are saved temporary during the session and when you close the window the cookies are destroyed . As the websites can not identify you without the cookies and each time when you visit they will treat you as a new user but still they can find information about you by your IP address and browsing information.
Things Which Are Hide During By Private Browsing:
There are the only few things which are hide in private browsing and those are cookies and browsing history. A little introduction about cookies is that like when you visit a website and you logged in there then the browser saved the information about that account and stay logged in even after closing the window i.e. the information about the website are stored and websites keep tracking of cookies.
If you browse privately then the cookies and browsing history will not be saved these will be destroyed when you will close all the private window. Some points to be noted that if you are downloading some files then will be stored on your devices memory similar to this if you are saving any page ot bookmarking the page then it will also be available even after closing the private window.
Can Anyone Still See your Browsing History?
The internet service provider still can see your search history what are you browsing on the internet
and it can be also tracked or monitoring by government agency and it does not matter for him you are browsing privately.
If you want to hide your information from ISP then there are some app and websites available those are called VPN (virtual private network ).Vpns are third party application that redirects you to your websites which you want to browse . In this case ISP will be able to know that you are using VPNs but still it cant not find in which site you are browsing and what . Because it is completely encrypted internet traffic. And more thing is that if ISP is collecting your information then its not useful for him because that not your actual IP address and with a different a location. There are TOR networks which are more safe than VPNs but that required very fast internet connection because its uses a series of VPNs and its algorithm are very hard to backtrack and find the source.
Private Browsing Stop Viruses,Malicious Website and Malware ?
The malware will affect your privacy and data leakage only after it is installed on the devices like Pc or Phones after installation it does not matter that you are browsing privately and Malicious websites also will cause harm when you visit those website it also does not matter for him you are privately browsing .
If you have came any suspicious mail and there is some attachment file you download and install those application then it will harm your devices and data. For protection from viruses ,malicious website and malware you have to install the ANTIVIRUS on the system then only you will be mostly safe and when you are browsing internet then at time it will monitor and look if there is any suspicious activity or any malware attack then it will block him or if there is any malware installed already in the system then it will find that and stop from working. Private browsing is generally useful for a quick browsing and and for small session. i.e. if after your private session end it will destroy the cookies and browsing history and data stored during the private session.Private Browsing will not hide your identity over the internet.
