Completely private browsing

[screwballs]

Hi Guys

I am writing this post to warn and get help from anyone who can help out. I basically use a Windows 7 PC with IE8 for browsing SBF forum. I delete all cache after browing using a software called PurgeIE. It used to work very well on Win XP. Now, with indexing enabled, even if I wipe out the cache, SBF link shows up in the history.

ANyone other porno site, we can explain off to the GF that it was just for harmless fun. But SBF will be very difficult explain.

Any idea on how to solve this issue?

I even have the option "Delete browsing history on exit" enabled.

Dun use IE8, use Firefox or Chrome.

Everytime you want to exit IE, go to internet options, look under browsing history and select delete. Will have to do it manually each time, as sometimes the delete on exit option don't always work, I don't know why either.

[hohoguy]

use ccleaner.. download from cnet

[packardbell]

I am impressed with bros here so helpful and knowlegable.

[shorttime]

you have to close the browser completely then it will be gone.

i used delete browsing history on exit. So far so good.

[aruowai]

bro , use in private browsing

[shchen]

If you like IE you should use IE 9 instead of IE8.

[tenable]

I used a different PC.

[UndeaD80]

I use a diffrent laptop woth password needed to key in before using my laptop

Thanks bros for the quick replies. I will try CCleaner first and see how it goes. Sometimes, even if you manually go and clear history from the internet options, the IE still stores the damn history for all to see. So forums mentioned that it is due to indexing enabled.

I hope this is relevant to this thread but I'm referring mostly to brothers who use Google for browsing like I do. As of March 1 they changed their privacy policy and you need to do the following to make sure your browsing history is deleted:

1. Go to Google page
2. Sign in (top right hand corner-assuming you have a gmail acc)
3. Click 'privacy' at bottom
4. Click 'privacy' again
5. Click 'tools'
6. Click 'google dashboard'
7. Scroll down to 'web history'
8. Click 'remove items clear or web history'
9. Then pause web history (this removes all past history)-it should remain paused after this

Hope this helps some brothers

there is a problem with deleting "history" everytime. Gf or CO will be suspicious that we spend so much on our pc and yet our history is always so clean!

I used a different PC.

Good idea. Only possible with present technology. We can hide our PC so easily.

MacBook doesn't seems to have such a problem

I have a solution that I use for surfing at home, and I believe it works best:

Firstly, I only have a work laptop and no personal laptop. Plus my OC is one of those super control freak types who also want to borrow my phone, scan my PC (you name it, she wants to see it).

What I do is have 2 browsers installed:

1. Chrome - for normal surfing, and logged into Google so there's an entire surfing history et al
2. Firefox - which I always use in 'Private Browsing' mode, for all the porno, sbf, megaupload sites

So, when in guai guai mode, whip out Chrome and just click away. When no one else is around, use Firefox in private mode: no history, no record of having been anywhere.

And if anyone suspects that you're wiping away your history (like any smart chick these days will think), you have evidence on your other browser and in Google of you checking out innocent Facebook and Pinterest and other crap.

It's a little troublesome, but hey - we all should be willing to go that extra mile for extra peace of mind yah?

Good point brother. Fortunately, I'm of the generation where my CO/wife can barely use a computer-she can use the home desktop to access her emails but that's about it. She never goes near my PC and wouldn't even know how to switch it on let alone check browsing history. I guess another solution is to use an internet cafe for this kind of surfing............

I always delete my browsing history.

If you REALLY REALLY want to be sure that no one can see what you have been browsing, use the following tools:

1. Download and install Truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/), start the "Truecrypt Volume Creation Wizard" and create an encrypted 3GB file. The file name can anything, so be creative with the naming, and put the file in the C:/Windows directory since it has so many files in it, it will be difficult for anyone to know if this big file belongs to Windows or not.

2. Mount the encrypted volume with Truecrypt. This will show up as another drive. e.g. D:\ or whatever drive you chose when you mounted it.

3. Download Firefox Portable (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable) and install it in the new drive.

4. Surf away in private, and when you are done, unmount the drive with Truecrypt, and no one will be the wiser, since all the history, cache, etc, are on the Truecrypt volume only and no one even knows you have another browser installed in your PC.

Happy private surfing!!

no one even knows you have another browser installed in your PC. Happy private surfing!!

Well, you do know ladies surf this forum right? Your detailed explanation won't be useful if the wife/gf also read your instructions. Older guys like me aren't as IT savvy. Install so many things, wait my laptop crash and even I myself can't surf.

How about this? Set up a joint account with her. Let her surf as well under the joint account. She may or may not like it. Then when she isn't around, log off the joint account and log into your personal account to do whatever you want. Then log off personal account and back into joint account. That way, even if she sees a history of forum threads, she won't get suspicious.

I found the solution is to stop indexing service, this way the searches become slow but u dont get caught. Then use something like PurgeIE to remove all traces of browsing. Inprivate browsing also helps. So seems to be a good solution.

[Curiousboy85]

For me, I will download safari for porn and sbf as they have private browsing so no trace no nth. Just use IE for the rest of the healthy surfing can liao.
If OC ask why got safari, just bluff say download Itunes den also download lor... ;)

[5ag1_Boar]

No need all this extra soft nowadays.

For Prevention:
On Google Chrome, click the "Wrench" icon and select "New Incognito Window"... whatever you surf there, your logins, etc will not be saved into the History or Cache... even if you click "Remember Me" when you log in, it will be forgotten. Everything you open from that window is automatically in a incognito tab/window.

On IE 8 and higher, click the "Gear" icon, select "Safety" then select "InPrivate Browsing". Short cut key is Shift + Ctrl + p. Works the same as Chrome's "Incognito Window".

For Firefox, there is something similar, but I don't know how to open it or what it's called.

As mentioned in post above mine, Safari also have private browsing.

Actually, all the current versions of major browsers have private browsing.

For Cure (meaning, you forgot to open in Incognito/etc mode):
- Close the page and clear history.
- If you logged in, make sure you clear cookies. Chrome as plug-ins that you can install that allows you to delete Cookies from the toolbar.
- If your GF/Wife knows how to dig through the cache, then you need to clear cache. If not, I wouldn't bother... unless you have a psycho GF/Wife who hires a P.I. to investigate whether you surf porn, call chicken, flirt on AFF, etc.

If u are reading from iphone, u can enable private browsing as well in Settings > Safari

Thanks bros for the good suggestions on here, I'd be more of a fan of nudedudez's method though usually a separate browser or private browsing should work in many cases.
About private browsing in Firefox, it is also invoked with Ctrl-Shift-P or by going to the Firefox menu, and selecting Start Private Browsing (just after "New Tab"). You select "Stop Private Browsing" to turn it off and end the private browsing session, though.

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Private-Browsing

There's also a plugin to switch to/from Private Browsing that may be useful, I have not tried it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-private-browsing/

[asdfghjkl]

since you mentioned you using IE8, you already have porn mode as one of the features. use it and nobody would know what you surf.

[tremble]

Easy! Use firefox or chrome.
For chrome: press CTRL + SHIFT + n
For firefox: press CTRL + SHIFT + p

This will open a new window to let you do your private browsing.
Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close all open incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
