The next version of Internet Explorer (IE8) includes a new security feature which enables you to surf without leaving a trace in your local computer. The second beta of Internet Explorer 8, which was released yesterday, has a security feature called "InPrivate Browsing" which prevents user’s history, cookies and other data from being saved on the user’s computer.
"Have you ever wanted to take your web browsing "off the record"? Perhaps you’re using someone else’s computer and you don’t want them to know which sites you visited" says Internet Explorer Product Manager, Andrew Ziegler in his blog post.
All major browsers (including IE7 and Firefox 3) have an option to erase the history, but now and then you might want to retain information of your browsing history while preventing sensitive stuff from getting logged into the browser history, this is where InPrivate Browsing comes in handy.
Besides letting users anonymously surf, IE8 can also build up a list of websites to block or allow InPrivate subscriptions. This way, users can automatically prevent some specific sites from getting into the history. The number one reason why users want to clear the history is to weed out the signs of p*rn from their browser. Such a subscription based history blocking feature might actually benefit to p*rn viewers.
There is already a similar extension for Firefox - Stealther extension. Although, it’s not as superior as IE8’s new inbuilt feature, it does the job. You can download IE8 Beta 2 from here.

I read about the PrivateBrowsing at techiebuzz, glad to hear more details about it hear. Sounds interesting, I wish they would come out with something like this for firefox, it is much faster.

Oh and when I mentioned I wish they had something of the sort for firefox, I meant something built in, something besides the stealther extension.

This could be the start of IE’s push to dominate FF, while I think it will take much more than P*rn mode surfing anonymity, it definitely is a shot across the bow at FF.

This is actually good strategy to keep IE alive and Google on its toes. Will benefit all of us!
