By clicking a button, users of IE8 will be able to limit how much information is recorded about where they go online and what they do.
Microsoft watchers have spotted two patent applications covering ways to manage the amount of information a browser logs.
When introduced the privacy mode will match features found on other browsers.

Yay - they figured out we hate the quadruple-logging of IE....
Now, if they could just get the damn thing to run without eating up my full 2Gb of Ram...
Maybe I'd go back to it.

But it's not open-source, and therefore inferior. Firefox!

In case you're not in the loop, nobody uses IE anymore.
Google "Mozilla Firefox", have fun with a lovely browser. - 3 years ago

Yeah - that's what they all say.
In fact, it's what a successful, experienced recording engineer told me - right before a catastrophic crash of his mac system (an inherent bug that, according to Apple itself - was not to be addressed for a few months) - which cost my band several hours of waiting and a few hundred bucks on the session invoice...
I'll stick with my PC-based studio... No problems I didn't cause myself in over 10 years.
But, for those of you who just need a machine for porn and games & email - sure, piss your dollars away on a sleek Mac.

Not even games. Macs have a pathetically small game library and incredibly low upgradability (none at all if it's a macbook). Plus they cost triple what they're actually worth.

And don't forget about the Turner Diaries. That's a flagged subject also.
But I don't think that's what this article is about. I think it's more about using shared computers, with average computing skills.

What is this I hear about the government flagging you when you visit certain websites or look at certain things on the internet? I heard that you will get flagged for looking up the Anarchist Cookbook. Aren't we entitled to any information we wish? What if I was writing a novel and needed some information on a cheap way to blow up a car to make my story more realistic so I order the Anarchist Cookbook and all of a sudden I'm being watched?

Most of the Internet does. ;
Windows as an OS. But I guess when you count IE7, IE6, and IE5 as one browser. Then yeah, it's the most popular

Safari has had this feature for a long time. It's simply called "private browsing".

A browser should be private on standard.
The fact that they are introducing this as a new feature covers basically the introduction of a safer Internet Explorer, not new features to enrichen the user experience.
Basically they should have done that 10 years ago. - 3 years ago
