FAQ: Ghostery Private Browser for mac
How do I go into private browsing?
Browsing in private mode is different from one browser to another, here is how you can browse privately using the most popular browsers:
- Google Chrome calls browsing privately "Incognito mode" and the way you can open an incognito window is to click on “File” in the browser’s menu and select "New Incognito Window."
- Mozilla Firefox named its private browsing mode "Private Window". To open the Private Window mode, you must click on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner of the browser window and select "New Private Window."
- InPrivate mode is what Microsoft Edge has named their private browsing mode and you need to click on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window, then select "New InPrivate Window" to open an InPrivate session.
- Safari has Private Browsing: To open a private browsing window, click on the "File" menu in the upper left corner of the screen, and then select "New Private Window."
Neither of the browsers saves your browsing history, search history, or temporary files on your computer while in "private browsing mode".

Does a private browser hide the IP?
The majority of private browsers will not hide your IP address. However, the TOR browser (The Onion Router), does hide your IP address by routing your internet connection through a network of servers, allowing for anonymous and private browsing sessions.
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be a good alternative to TOR. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a remote server, masking your IP address and making it more difficult for third parties to track your online activity.
