Safari 4.0.4 on Snow Leopard; Private Browsing

[iMacBoy]

Hey,

I have just recently got my first mac, moving from a windows computer.

On my previous pc on internet explorer there was an option for 'Private Browsing' which didn't leave any files or anything and the sites visited were fully untraceable.

On Safari i have noticed the same option, does this do the same (doesn't leave any cache or history or anything like that?)

Thanks!

It's not flawless; for example if you turn on private browsing and then view a product on Amazon, you'll then get similar products showing up on Amazon's recommendations page. It looks like tracking cookies still make it through.

So maybe after gratifying myself via the content that is provided by the internets, I should clear my cookies?

Firefox's private mode doesn't store cookies from the private sessions. The thing with Amazon.com could either be from flash storing data or from IP address matching as well?

Also, mind you, Flash Player keeps a sort of history/stored data as well. You can clear it by going to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html and then click on "delete all sites."
