So, I just discovered the "Private Browsing" option on Firefox. This means I can once again easily browse TWW Chit Chat while I'm home on the family computer!! Sweet!

Doesn't save history, deletes all the cookies from that session, pretty much makes it to where there is no evidence of that session on your computer

You've just caused me to sstart up IE for the first time in months...

Anyway, it does have this feature:

Quote :
"InPrivate Browsing helps prevent Internet Explorer from storing data about your browsing session. This includes cookies, temporary Internet files, history, and other data. Toolbars and extensions are disabled by default. See Help for more information.

To turn off InPrivate Browsing, close this browser window.
"

It's under the Safety drop-down menu on the right.

Drats. I thought I had this all figured out...

The private browsing mode. My firefox updated last night and said that my private browsing add-on wasn't compatible with this version, and it could check for compatible versions of the add-on but it couldn't find any

See, it was weird. It was on my mom's computer back home and I'm sure she didn't add it, but it wasn't on mine so I downloaded an add-on
