Good news guys!  Google's new browser Chrome has a mode that will wipe clear of sites you visited.  The Incognito Mode is sort of a stealth setting.  When you finished browsing in the incognito mode and close the browser all history of pages visited will be wiped clear and not ever to show any traces on your computer, which is great for us guys that have an SO.

Wonder if it sends your info to the eye in the sky ?

Delete browsing history is available on all Microsoft operating systems...as far as i know.
(Under Tools....Delete Browsing History)...Also
under Control Panel,  click on Performance& Maintenance...click on Free Up Space On Your Hard Disc....select drives you want to clean up.
And presto....your in the clear...someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Chrome still has some issues playing video. Incognito is a nice feature though.

tools internet options delete all browsing history OK... I do it every time before I log off..Now if my GF gets into PC forensics I am toast..

What do you have then?....Practically all computers in the USA,use....The Microsoft Windows operating system.

All browsers can do what you are talking about, but what "Private Browsing" is essentially creating a tab "on the fly" that is private, whereas all of your other tabs/windows are "regular."

This means that when you are done browsing, you don't have to worry about going into your settings and clearing the incriminating evidence.

Ultimately (as I state below), Firefox 3 does have a *plug-in* that allows this functionality.  Additionally, Safari 3 has this built-in already.  The future release of IE 8 will also have this functionality.

I saw a news story about Chrome allowing people to access private bank account info. Apparently Google is capable of digging quite a bit deeper into our personal lives than we're willing to allow. Beware...

To clarify, with Firefox 3, you need a plug-in to do "Private Browsing."  It does not come automatically with the "virgin" Firefox 3.

Safari 3 has Private Browsing, and the future release of IE 8 will have Private Browsing as well.

Also, I believe that some of you are confusing the "new" (not really new) functionality of "Private Browsing" versus the ability to quickly clear cookies, cache, passwords, etc. in Firefox.  Google Chrome (and Safari 3) allows you to create a specific tab that is in "Private Browsing" mode and all the other tabs are in "regular" mode.  This is a big difference than going into preferences, etc. and then removing the history/cookies/etc.
