Firefox “Porn Mode” Now Available

1849  200x200 firefox Firefox Porn Mode Now Available

If you are looking to hide your browsing activites from friends, loved ones or even bosses you might want to head out and download a copy of Firefox 3.1 Beta 2.

Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 adds what the Mozilla Foundation calls Private Browsing a.k.a. Porn Mode. Basically with Private Browsing enabled Firefox doesn’t store any information related to your internet activity on your local machine. This means that anyone using the machine after you won’t be able to pull up your address bar history, search term history or your recently viewed pages. This can come in real handy if you share a computer with a partner or you are a corporate road warrior that frequently uses your company laptop for presentations.

Before you get too crazy realize that this Private Browsing only works on your local machine. That means that your ISP or your corporate IT department can still see what websites you are viewing. It just prevents any trace of those websites from being stored on your local machine.

If you’re looking to hide all your browser traffic from the corporate IT drones then you need to look into running your browser traffic over an SSH encrypted tunnel. If that sounds interesting you can find instructions here and here. Sure it sounds fancy but trust me, if I can do it you can do it.
