Web Browsing and Privacy

Privacy on the Internet is an important aspect that most people take for granted. We are looking for speed and convenience when using the Internet and love things that help us save time. Our browsers automatically track our browser history when we use the same computer. Internet Explorer has InPrivate Browsing, Google Chrome has Incognito mode, and Firefox has Private Browsing, but most consumers don’t know what these are or how they work to protect your privacy. Write a short report explaining how to erase your browser history on each of the three main browsers: Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. Do you think the average person would like to know how to keep his or her browser history private? Why?
