Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat if I don't have the private button in the left corner or anywhere on the screen when I follow your instructions?
Community AnswerThis means that parental controls (aka restrictions) are turned on for internet searches. Unless you know the code to disable that, there isn't a way around it that I know of. - QuestionWhat does "do not track" actually mean?
Community AnswerCompanies (like Google, for example) often use "cookies" to track you across the internet to personalize your experience. While this can be useful in some cases, it mostly isn't; turning on Do Not Track asks companies to stop doing this, and to respect your privacy. - QuestionHow do I keep my browsing history and not lose it?Community AnswerTurn off private mode, and it should automatically keep your browsing history.
