private browsing
History-free web mode
Private browsing is a web browser mode that doesn't save your history, cookies, or form data after you close the session.
It prevents others who use your device from seeing what sites you visited, but doesn't hide your activity from your internet provider, employer, or the websites themselves: I use private browsing when shopping for gifts so my wife won't see targeted ads.
Also called incognito mode.
