A Private Browser is an internet browser that is designed to protect a user's privacy while they are browsing the web. It allows users to browse the web without leaving a digital footprint and it also helps to protect their data from being accessed by third parties. Private browsers usually have additional features such as blocking ads, tracking cookies, preventing websites from collecting user data, and providing secure connections. Private browsers are also known as "Incognito Browsers" as they provide users with an added layer of anonymity. Private Browsers are commonly used by those who want to hide their online activities from others, such as journalists, whistleblowers, and political dissidents.
