privacy mode

Hidden activity setting

Privacy mode is a browser setting that prevents the storage of browsing history, cookies, and other data after a session ends.

It doesn't make you invisible online—websites and internet providers can still track activity—but it keeps no local record on your device.

Useful for shared computers, gift shopping, or any browsing you'd rather not explain: I searched for that in privacy mode.
