Edge Inprivate



InPrivate browsing in Microsoft Edge is similar to Chrome’s Incognito mode. Private browsing is a useful tool that every decent web browser offers. You can also use it on your own device for personal reasons.

Microsoft Edge’s InPrivate browsing mode can be disabled via Group Policy and Registry hack method. The post outlines, the steps involved in the process. InPrivate Browsing in Microsoft Edge opens a window that allows you to browse privately. While it doesn't save things like your browsing history, cookies, site and forms data, it allows you accessing your profile, bookmarks, etc.

Though it’s a useful feature, it may not be something suited for all environments. Especially if minors, children then the Incognito Mode is not such a great thing!

In private browsing mode, browsing history, cookies, temporary internet files, site preferences, and passwords are not saved. Other temporary files, cookies and form data will also be wiped as soon as you close the browsing window. However, InPrivate does not prevent tracking your activity across the internet. Websites, your ISP, or organizations hosting your network (such as your school or office) can still see your web activity by tracking your IP address or through other methods. So if you want to track online activities on a shared Windows 10 PC, you have to disable InPrivate browsing on Microsoft Edge.
