How Much You Are Safe In Private Browsing ?


 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.

How do I write a C program to find the factorial of a number?

  Finding the factorial of a number is a common problem in computer programming. A factorial of a number is the product of all positive integers up to and including that number. For example, the factorial of 5 is 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120. In C programming, we can write a program to find the factorial of a number using a loop. Here's an example program: c Copy code # include <stdio.h> int main () { int num; unsigned long long fact = 1 ; printf ( "Enter a positive integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , &num); for ( int i= 1 ; i<=num; ++i) { fact *= i; } printf ( "Factorial of %d = %llu\n" , num, fact); return 0 ; } In this program, we first declare the variables num and fact . We then prompt the user to enter a positive integer using the printf() and scanf() functions. Note that we use the unsigned long long data type for the variable fact because the factorial of a large number can become very ...

How do I scan a line in C (with spaces separating words)?

In C programming, the standard way to scan a line of text with spaces separating words is to use the fgets() function. The fgets() function reads a line of input from a stream (such as stdin for keyboard input) and stores it in a character array. It takes three arguments: the character array to store the input, the maximum number of characters to read, and the input stream to read from. Here's an example of using fgets() to scan a line of input with spaces: c Copy code # include <stdio.h> int main () { char input[ 100 ]; printf ( "Enter a line of text: " ); fgets(input, 100 , stdin ); printf ( "You entered: %s" , input); return 0 ; } In this example, we declare a character array input with a size of 100 to store the line of text. We then prompt the user to enter a line of text using printf() . The fgets() function is then used to read the line of text and store it in the input array. The thi...

How do I convert a C program to an executable (e.g. .exe) file?

In C programming, once you have written your code and compiled it, you will need to convert it to an executable file format that can be run on your computer. Here are the steps to convert a C program to an executable file: Step 1: Write your C program First, you need to write your C program. You can use any text editor or integrated development environment (IDE) to write your code. Once you have written your program, save it with a .c extension. Step 2: Compile the C program Next, you need to compile your C program using a compiler. A compiler is a program that translates your C code into machine language that the computer can understand. There are many C compilers available for different platforms, such as GCC for Linux, MinGW for Windows, and Xcode for macOS. For example, if you are using GCC on Linux or macOS, you can open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where your C program is saved. Then, you can compile the program using the following command: Copy ...
