Sometimes we use a public PC, a friend´s PC, a family friend´s PC or one in a cyber cafe to connect to the Internet when we don´t have a computer of our own and are forced to use a borrowed one. In cases like these, it is important to use a private Internet browser window to work in a manner in which cookies, log-in data, personal info and much more does not get left behind in a foreign computer, open to strangers scrutiny, and more.  There are even more perks to this way of work: 


<ul>

<li>Reduces the risk of unwanted extensions and / or applications stealing our private information.</li>

<li>On-line accounts cannot be reopened by mistake or carelessness because the password won't be saved in the browser for further use by everyone.</li>

<li> Your work won´t be stored in the local Drive, unless you download the file or mark  a website you have visited as a Favorite.</li>

<li>You cannot interfere with the open and / or saved accounts of the person who lends you their PC.</li>

</ul>



To open a private or incognito window in Google Chrome, click on the icon in the top far right, an icon which shows three dots on top of each other. Then click on the “Open Private Window Browser”  See image below:

A new private window will be opened, as shown in the following image:

Now, all future tabs and windows you open here will also be private and will not be recorded in the browser´s History, cookies won´t be recorded and personal info like usernames and passwords for accounts and social media will not be recorded either for easy access to them.

For other browsers, like Safari or Opera, including mobile versions of each one, there is the  "new private window" option or "new incognito window". You can look it up in the Configuration on the browser window at the top far-right icon. It´s a drop-down menu in mobile versions.

This may be very basic information to most people, but there are many out there clueless to this particular perk to protect your privacy in public computers.
