Summary

InPrivate window in Microsoft Edge allows you to browse the web without saving browsing history, cookies, site data, or form entries on your device. InPrivate browsing helps improve privacy by limiting local tracking while still allowing downloads and favorites to be saved. This article explains how InPrivate browsing works and how to use it for more private web browsing.

When you use InPrivate tabs or windows, your browsing data (like your history, temporary internet files, and cookies) isn't saved on your PC once you're done.

In Microsoft Edge, select the Settings and More  icon, and then New InPrivate window.
