Safari keeps miniature screenshots of the pages you visit even in private mode.
Go to Finder>Library>Caches>com.apple.Safari>Webpage Previews and have a look.
My sneaky ex-girlfriend used to "visit" my mac when I was not home and I got embarrassed once.
However that was a year ago, maybe this has been corrected since (I don't feel like doing some testing now, since that day I've only been using Chrome's private mode...).

I checked but didn't find anything similar with Chrome. Maybe I didn't look hard enough though.
