Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips It’s always the way when you share a PC with other people at home. You go online to do some last-minute Christmas shopping and the next person to use the computer will see and the websites you’ve visited in the browser history that, very helpfully, suggests websites you may want to visit again. Sites like Amazon are even worse offenders, offering up all the items you looked at last, some of which you’ve probably bought for people already! You can delete your browser history, or at least try to remember to do this. Alternatively you can do all your Christmas online shopping at a friend’s house or at work. The best solution then is to make sure that your web browser doesn’t store any information about what you’ve been looking at online and modern browsers do support this. In Internet Explorer it’s called InPrivate mode, Chrome calls it Incognito mode. When you use your browser like this it won’t store any information about what you’ve been doping online or what you’ve been looking at, which is perfect. It also won’t allow websites to store information about your activities either so the likes of Amazon won’t show up your purchases to the rest of the family
