About this tag
InPrivate mode in Microsoft Edge is a private browsing feature that prevents browsing history, cookies, and site data from being saved after the session ends. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight that Edge's Copilot sidebar now loads in InPrivate windows, requiring explicit permission before reading page content. This change affects assumptions about private browsing, as Copilot's integration introduces new privacy considerations. Users also explore broader Edge privacy topics, including data collection for personalized advertising and managing browsing history. While InPrivate mode remains a key tool for temporary, non-tracked browsing, its interaction with AI features like Copilot raises questions about data handling and user control. The tag covers threads on Edge's evolving privacy landscape, from basic history management to advanced Copilot behaviors in private sessions.
