Microsoft Confirms IE 8 ‘Pr0n Mode’, Real Name Slightly More Diplomatic
Recent Internet Explorer 8 rumors being tossed around the Web loosely outlined what bloggers referred to as “porn mode”. Basically this new functionality would allow users to easily enable and disable a strict privacy policy, disallowing all cookies and disabling browsing history, search history, and form data / password memory. Microsoft has finally confirmed that the upcoming much needed update to their Web browser will indeed include a secretive browsing mode, though it seems to have opted to not go with the “porn mode” moniker despite its relevance. Andy Zeigler, Microsoft Program Manager, recently detailed what has been dubbed the “InPrivate” feature line within Microsoft’s upcoming eighth Internet Explorer version. Three new services combine to make up the InPrivate package; InPrivate Browsing, InPrivate Blocking and InPrivate Subscriptions. When enabled, these three components (along with an automatic history deletion feature) combine to ensure that you can go anywhere you want on the Web and no one will ever find out what a sick, twisted deviant you really are.

IE is kind of like that annoying commenter on engadget that screams “First!”, yet he’s 40 comments late. Yeah, kind of like that.
Kind of like cell phone commercials, “Introducing the never before seen …” and its like, “yep, already saw that on BGR like 6 months ago, already know its a POS. Thank You, Try Again.”
Huzzah!
Finally, no more having to delete my history and everything. I can be all the sick deviant person I want to be.
LOL @ IE cos Safari’s had this for a long time now.
Alright we get it Safari has this; I don’t need 6 people to tell me that.
