- dvpower, on 08/21/2008, -0/+85FTA: "Users may wish to turn on the privacy mode if they are planning a surprise party, buying presents or researching a medical condition and do not want others users of the same computer to find out."
Clearly not an exhaustive list - fandyboy, on 08/21/2008, -2/+70Sweet, I never have to see my father's pr0n history again! W00t!
- coderukus, on 08/21/2008, -6/+63And they'll surely provide a way to override this with a group policy so it instead collects all the information during the private browsing session and send it to your supervisor.
- geodebug, on 08/21/2008, -6/+51IE 8 comes stumbling through the door trying to breathe...
"huff, huff, wheeze, have... I.. caught up.. yet?"
Firefox should send them a cake. - Alegoo92, on 08/21/2008, -2/+42Or "Private Browsing" in Safari
- seldon452, on 08/21/2008, -3/+40That was the way I found out my dad was really in to strap on lesbian porn. It also explained why he gave my mom candlesticks for her birthday too....
- mrbutter, on 08/21/2008, -8/+45too bad the browser sucks.
- chedabob, on 08/21/2008, -0/+32Your supervisor can see it when it goes through the company firewall anyway.
- pault107, on 08/21/2008, -0/+29Funny, yet disturbing.
- postalblowfish7, on 08/21/2008, -1/+29Are you sure you want to turn on private browsing?
When private browsing is turned on, webpages are not added to the history, items are automatically removed from the Downloads window, information isn't saved for AutoFill (including names and passwords), and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search box. Until you close the window, you can still click the Back and Forward buttons to return to webpages you have opened.
(Cancel) ( OK ) - justinx0r, on 08/21/2008, -0/+27She'll never know about my herpes now!
- pixeleyes, on 08/21/2008, -1/+27s/privacy mode/porn mode/
- nickert0n, on 08/21/2008, -2/+28Awesome Thanks for implementing this state of the art 1996 Technology!
- SonnyW, on 08/21/2008, -0/+25And you'll never know about her herpes fetish!
Thanks, Privacy Mode! - BlueStarr, on 08/21/2008, -3/+25You mean like Safari feature Private Browsing?
- serif69, on 08/21/2008, -0/+20Oh man. Imagine someone searching through your history to see if you are planning a surprise party for them and they happen across cakefarter.com. It'll be a surprise, alright.
- Caligatio, on 08/21/2008, -3/+22Better late than never I suppose. Stealther works well for FF atm for me.
- PhillyMJS, on 08/21/2008, -2/+22"Microsoft: We're the leaders, wait for us!"
- falafelkiosken, on 08/21/2008, -3/+21IE fails on standards, focuses on porn
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+17you mean, porn mode?
- OneLess, on 08/21/2008, -0/+15In this context, "privacy" means "when my girlfriend uses my computer she won't see I've been visiting porn sites all day".
- cubicledrone, on 08/21/2008, -2/+15IE support style sheets yet?
- IphtashuFitz, on 08/21/2008, -2/+15And apparently Microsoft is applying for patents for this, despite the fact it's been available in browsers like Safari for a while now...
- fandyboy, on 08/21/2008, -8/+21Translated:
"the corporations sit there in their, ih, in their corporation buildings and, and and see that's, they're all corporationy, and they make money. Mhm."
Shut up and grow up bubashelilililililili. - JavertHolmes, on 08/21/2008, -0/+13At my place, I have non-admin accounts for each person who might regularly use the computer for surfing, emailing, then I have a generic "guest" account for people who may need to come over and visit that needs to hop onto a computer for a second. I wouldn't have it any other way.
If someone happens to find out about my secret birthday party by figuring out my password and then poking around my browser saved data then they can go ***** themselves and their secret birthday. - igul222, on 08/21/2008, -2/+14...and you'd rather use IE?
- johnomaz, on 08/21/2008, -1/+13If you are an employee, using a company computer at work, yes, he has the right to do that. Its not your computer, not your internet, and its not your time you are wasting, its the companies.
- onuo, on 08/21/2008, -3/+13"Users may wish to turn on the privacy mode if they are planning a surprise party, buying presents or researching a medical condition and do not want others users of the same computer to find out."
Ahhhh I can use it for that also ! - SmellyGeekBoy, on 08/21/2008, -2/+12If it was pictures of your mom, I'm sorry.... It was me.
- xkingADROCKx, on 08/21/2008, -0/+10It's not going to happen. Ever.
- sindex, on 08/21/2008, -3/+13Are they adding a "be Firefox" mode as well?
- kevdotbadger, on 08/21/2008, -1/+10I like what you did there.
- brianjlowry, on 08/21/2008, -0/+9Out of sheer curiosity, I went to your site. I just have one question, how did you find it? That has to be the weirdest fetish I have ever seen.
Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm craving cake. - mithrasinvictus, on 08/21/2008, -1/+9So, this means that you can only see the pages someone has browsed through the secret index.dat file?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index.dat - kraetos, on 08/21/2008, -1/+9Can we get a "doesn't suck" mode?
- serif69, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6@brianjlowry It's the internet. You can find anything on the internet. Also, the internet is an ***** that destroys all that we love. See also: Rule 34.
- DeFex, on 08/21/2008, -2/+8its very easy to implement. it just closes IE and opens firefox.
- johnomaz, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5its because people don't care what microsoft does, they have it in their mind that microsoft sucks, don't use the, and bash them when they can.
- PabloMac, on 08/21/2008, -5/+10What is this "IE" you talk about?
- bouche, on 08/21/2008, -1/+6I don't know why they don't promote it as a way to hide porn trails. That would be a revolutionary campaign.
- EntropyFan, on 08/21/2008, -1/+6I think it is funny that if MS ignores its users, folks bash them, yet if they listen to their users, the very same people bash them...
- ammundsen, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4The problem is most Windows users dont realize they can do this.
Somewhat related: the actions you are taking would eliminate the need for a lot of Vistas new security measures. If you dont run as admin you are not as susceptible to viri. Vista still has you run as admin by default, it just asks you about every admin action.
Really no one should be running as admin on a computer just to do their daily work. - linagee, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4PORN MODE!
- jkahrs595, on 08/21/2008, -4/+8Using IE8 is like a the big joke among my friends (yeah we're cool). Just try downloading the beta, then go to google maps. The potential for greatness is unbelievable.
- Munceenuts, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5Still not going to use it..
- AsgardsAvenger, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5You share your backdoor with 100+ of your best friends?
... not that there's anything wrong with that.... - KielKilla, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4OMG WTF! LOL
- Zuwxiv, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4You know, I'm on Safari right now, and I just noticed I had Private Browsing on as I was reading this.
Because I was... uh... planning a surprise party. Yeah. That's it. - CptGiglges, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4HAHAHAHA
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -3/+6People still use ie?
Apple did it. -
