What’s the difference between private browsing and anonymous browsing?īy clearing your cookies and other temporary data, private browsing protects your privacy only on your computer or phone. While it removes all traces of your browsing activity from your device, private browsing does not mean you stay anonymous online and does not protect you from web tracking.
