Marka aad rabto inaad qariso wax aad khadka ku sameyso, waxaad isticmaashaa habka wax baadhista gaarka ah sida qarsoodiga ,^(Incognito) baadhista gaarka ah^{(Private Browsing)} , ama gudaha^(InPrivate) . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ma ogtahay sida aad dhab ahaantii gaar u tahay markaad isticmaasho habkan baadhitaanka shabakada? Kuwa kale weli ma arki karaan waxaad internetka ku samaynayso? Sidoo kale, ma garanaysaa browserka ugu fiican ilaalinta sirtaada? Waxaan tijaabinay noocyadii ugu dambeeyay ee Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox , Microsoft Edge , iyo Opera , waxaanan haynaa jawaabaha su'aalahan oo dhan. Haddii aad rabto inaad ogaato waxa ku saabsan InPrivate , Incognito , iyo hababka kale ee wax baadhista gaarka ah, akhri maqaalkan:

Waa maxay baadhista gaarka ah? Maxay qabtaa?

Baadhitaanka gaarka ah^{(Private browsing)} waa hab waxyar oo gaar ah oo lagu baadho mareegaha, marka la barbar dhigo daalacashada shabakada caadiga ah. Dhammaan shabakadaha waaweyn ee daalacashada, daalacashada gaarka ah waxay qabataa waxyaabaha soo socda:

• ^{(Deletes stored)} Waxa ay tirtirtaa cookies ^(cookies) -ka ^{(from your browsing sessions)}kaydsan fadhiyaahaaga baadhista marka la xidho baadhista gaarka ah. Taas macnaheedu waa haddii aad gashay Facebook , Gmail , YouTube , ama shabakad kale, marka aad xidhid dhammaan tabsyada gaarka ah iyo daaqadaha, cookies-kaas waa la tirtirayaa, oo si toos ah ayaad u baxaysaa. Ka soo qaad in qof kale isku dayo inuu booqdo isla shabakadaha daaqad cusub oo wax lagu baadho. Xaaladdaas, si toos ah uguma^(NOT) soo galaan akoonkaaga.

• Waxay tirtirtaa xogta aad ku^{(Deletes the data you type in forms)} qorto foomamka, sida boggaga is-diiwaangelinta, boggaga gelitaanka, ama boggaga xidhiidhka. Markaad baadhayso shabakada, waxa laga yaabaa inaad u baahato inaad xogta ku geliso dhammaan noocyada foomamka, gacanta.

Dhammaan faylashan waxa lagu kaydiyaa kombayutarkaaga si aad u degdegto wax u baadhistaada. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, marka aad xirto dhammaan tabs-yada gaarka ah iyo daaqadaha, faylashaas waa la tirtiraa, si aan loo helin oo aan u isticmaalin qof kale oo yaqaan meesha uu ka raadinayo diskka.

Waa maxay daalacashada gaarka ah ma qabato

Baadhitaanka gaarka ah maaha xabbad qalin ah, hay'adaha qaarkoodna weli way ku daba-joogi karaan, iyadoo ku xidhan browser-ka aad isticmaalayso iyo sida loo dejiyay:

• Faylasha aad soo dejisay iyo bookmarks-yada aad kaydisay waxay ku hadhayaan meeshii aad ku kaydisay. Waxaad u baahan tahay inaad gacanta ku tirtirto haddii aanad doonayn in dadkale ay arkaan ama isticmaalin.
• Lagaama ilaalinayo keylogers iyo spyware. Inkasta oo browserku uu tirtiro xogta aad ku qorto, keyloggers iyo spyware waxay u dhaqmaan sidii barnaamijyo madax-bannaan oo ka hortagaya dhammaan furayaasha furayaasha. Si aad naftaada uga ilaaliso khatarahaas, waxaad u baahan tahay antivirus wanaagsan.
• Adeeg bixiyahaaga internetku wuu ogyahay wax kasta oo aad ku samaysay khadka, ilaa aad u isticmaasho VPN oo ay weheliso daalacashada gaarka ah, si aad u sirayso taraafikadaada. Nasiib wanaag, daalacashada qaar ayaa ku bixiya ilaalinta noocan oo kale ah qaabkooda wax baarista gaarka ah. Akhri si aad wax badan uga barato
• Ka soo qaad^(Suppose) inaad ku jirto urur, sida shirkad ama dugsi. Xaaladdaas, biraawsarkaaga shabakadu wuxuu la xidhiidhaa server-ka wakiilnimada^{(a proxy server)} iyo DNS (Domain Name Server) ee uu maamulo ururkaas. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in maamulaha IT-ga laga yaabo inuu galo hawshaada onlayn, oo ay yaqaanaan boggaga internetka ee aad daalacday. Si aad naftaada u ilaaliso, waxaad u baahan tahay VPN si aad ula socoto baadhista gaarka ah. Nasiib wanaag^(Luckily) , daalacashada qaar ayaa bixiya ilaalinta VPN -ku-dhismay.^(VPN)
• Mareegaha aad booqatay way ogyihiin inaad booqatay. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad sidoo kale gasho bogaggaas, waxay si sax ah u garanayaan inay adiga ahayd iyo waxaad samaysay markaad booqatay. Haddii aadan soo gelin, waxay og yihiin inay haystaan ​​​​booqde. Mareegaha qaar ayaa laga yaabaa inay xitaa kugu aqoonsadaan raadinta horumarsan, taasoo noo horseedaysa barta xigta.
• Shabakadaha xayeysiiska waxay yaqaaniin waxaad booqatay iyo waxaad raadisay. Shabakadaha xayeysiisku waxay adeegsadaan farsamooyin raadraaca sare leh kuwaas oo la socda xogtaada wax baadhista ee ku baahsan goobo badan, iyaga oo isticmaalaya ciwaanka IP-gaga, aqoonsiga browserka, iyo cookies. Darowsarrada qaar ayaa bixiya ilaalinta raadraaca ama ugu yaraan sifooyinka xannibista xayeysiiska ee baarista gaarka ah. Haddii aad awood u siiso, way ku adag tahay shabakadaha xayeysiiska inay ku daba galaan. Sido kale u sahle isku xirka VPN , baadhistaada khaaska ahina waxay noqonaysaa mid aad u adag in la raad raaco.

browser-yada aan u isticmaalnay isbarbardhigga iyo add-ons-yada aan rakibnay

Marka la barbardhigo hababka wax baadhista gaarka ah, waxaanu u isticmaalnay daalacashada soo socota ee Windows: Google Chrome 85 (64-bit), nooca Mozilla Firefox 81 (64-bit), nooca Microsoft Edge 85 (64-bit), iyo Opera 71.

Waxaan sidoo kale ku rakibnay Pocket, LastPass, Amazon Assistant, iyo Avast Online Security kordhinta si aan u aragno inay ku firfircoon yihiin baarista gaarka ah iyo inay la socdaan dabeecadaha isticmaalaha.

Waa maxay browserka ugu fiican ee wax baadhista gaarka ah?

browser kasta si gaar ah ayaanu u tijaabinay waxaana laba jeer hubinay in uu sameeyo waxa uu balan qaadayo. Waxaan sidoo kale xaqiijinnay kuwa soo socda:

• Barrawsarku ma kuu ogolaanayaa inaad dib u soo ceshato tab xiran marka aad si khaas ah u baadhayso? Tani waa muuqaal taban sababtoo ah waxaa laga yaabaa inaad ilowdo hal tabo oo khaas ah oo furan, qof kalena wuxuu iman karaa isla PC oo soo celin karaa dhammaan tabsiyadaada xiran si uu u arko waxaad booqatay.
• Barowsarku ma joojiyaa kordhinta? Haddii browser-ku aanu joojin inay si gaar ah wax u baadhayaan, waxa lagu daba-galayaa add-ons-ka lagu rakibay biraawsarkaaga. Tani waa taban kale oo muhiim ah, gaar ahaan marka la isticmaalayo daalacashada leh aalado xunxun iyo waxyaabo dheeri ah oo lagu rakibay, sida kuwa meelaha caamka ah.
• Barowsarku ma xannibaa xayaysiisyada iyo noocyada kale ee dabagalka? Shabakadaha xayaysiisyadu waxay caado u leeyihiin inay la socdaan isticmaalayaasha dhamaan shabakado badan, iyagoo og waxay rabaan iyo u adeega xayaysiisyada ay u badan tahay in la gujiyo.
• browserku ma bixiyaa VPN -ku-dhisan ? Habkaani waa mid faa'iido leh marka aadan rabin in ururada kale ogaadaan waxaad internetka ka sameyneyso. Markaad isticmaalayso VPN^{(When using a VPN)} , daalacashadaada waa la sirsan yahay, adeeg bixiyahaaga internetku ma garanayo waxaad booqanayso, sidoo kale ururka aad ku jirto ma garanayo. Xataa xayaysiisyada waa la marin habaabiyay in loo maleeyo inaad qof kale tahay.

Hoos waxaad ka arki kartaa isbarbardhigga dhammaan sifooyinka lagu bixiyo noocyada caadiga ah ee browser kasta. Qaar ka mid ah sanduuqyada Haa^(Yes) waxay ku midabaysan yihiin cagaar, halka kuwa kalena ay midabkoodu casaan yahay. Waxaan isticmaalnay casaan iyo cagaar si aan u muujinno in sifo ama maqnaanshaheeda ay tahay mid togan ama taban. Cagaarku waxa uu matalaa sifo togan, casaankuna waxa uu u taagan yahay xumaan.

Sida aad ku arki karto shaxda, daalacashada ugu fiican ee daalacashada gaarka ah waa Google Chrome iyo Microsoft Edge. ^{(the best browsers for private browsing are Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.)}Si kastaba ha noqotee, with a bit of tinkering, Opera can outperform both of them!Aynu mid mid uga wada hadalno browser kasta, oo aynu aragno waxay bixiyaan iyo waxa aanu samayn.

Google Chrome iyo Microsoft Edge waxay daboolayaan dhammaan aasaaska wax raadinta gaarka ah, marka laga reebo VPN

Marka ay timaado wax baadhista khaaska ah, qaabka qarsoodiga^(InPrivate) ah ee Google Chrome ka iyo qaabka InPrivate^(Incognito) ee Microsoft Edge ayaa bixiya dhammaan aasaaska. Waxay ka hortagi karaan dadka kale ee isticmaalaya isla kumbuyuutarka inay ogaadaan waxaad internetka ku sameyneyso, laakiin taasi waa. Kaama ilaalin karaan Bixiyaha Adeegga Internetka^{(Internet Service Provider)} , loo-shaqeeyahaaga, ama dugsiga, laakiin hey, sidoo kale Firefox kuma ilaalin karaan!

Mozilla Firefox waa bac isku qasan marka ay timaado daalacashada gaarka ah

Sifada daalacashada gaarka ah ee Firefox^(Firefox) waxa ay leedahay hal arin oo ku jirtay noocyadeedii hore oo wali taagan. Waxay u ogolaataa isticmaalayaasha inay soo celiyaan tabsiyada xiran, xitaa marka si gaar ah wax u baadhayaan. ^{(It allows users to restore closed tabs, even when browsing privately.)}Haddii aad ilowdo hal tabo oo khaas ah oo daalacashada ayaa furan, qof kale ayaa soo celin kara tabskaaga xiran oo baran kara waxaad internetka ka sameyneysay.

Dhanka kale, Firefox wuxuu xannibaa raadraacayaasha si caadi ah, laakiin sidoo kale dhammaan daalacashada kale ee aan tijaabinay.

Opera waxay noqon kartaa tan ugu fiican ee baarista gaarka ah haddii aad karti u siiso laba astaamood

Opera waxa ay leedahay sifooyin gudaha ku dhex jira oo ka kor marin kara kuwa kale marka ay timaado daalacashada gaarka ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, sifooyinkaan si toos ah uma shidneen, marka waxaad u baahan tahay inaad gacanta ku siiso. Markaad furto daaqad khaas ah oo wax raadin ah, waxay ku siinaysaa ilaalin la mid ah tan Google Chrome ama Microsoft Edge . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxa kale oo aad helaysaa badhanka VPN dhinaca bidix ee ciwaanka. Intaa waxaa dheer, Opera waxay kugu dhiirigelineysaa sharraxaadda baarista gaarka ah si ay awood ugu yeelato VPN . Haddii aad gujiso badhanka VPN , waxaad si toos ah ugu xidhan tahay opera VPN serverka ugu fiican , iyadoo ku xidhan goobtaada. Sidan, ISP kaaga^(ISP)iyo ururka kombayutarkaagu waa in aanu ogaan waxa aad online ka samaynayso. Sidoo kale, xayaysiiyayaasha ayaa kuula dhaqmi kara sida isticmaale kale oo meel kale ka yimid.

Haddii aad rabto ilaalinta xayeysiiska iyo ilaalinta raadraaca, waxaad sidoo kale heli kartaa taas, sababtoo ah waxay ku dhisan tahay Opera . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, si toos ah uma shidno. Guji^(Click) ama taabo batoonka weyn ee ku yaal geeska bidix ee sare oo aad Settings . Goobaha ugu horreeya waa "Xayeysiiska xannibi"^{("Block ads")} iyo "Block trackers." Calaamadee labadan sanduuq, oo waxaad helaysaa baadhista ugu gaarka ah ee biraawsarku ku bixin karo, adigoo isticmaalaya kaliya qalab iyo astaamo lagu dhex dhisay.

Waan ka mahadcelineynaa waxa Opera ay bixiso, maadaama uu yahay browserka kaliya ee aan tijaabinay kaas oo xoogaa kaa ilaalin kara ISP kaaga , loo shaqeeyaha, ama dugsiga, ilaa iyo inta aad isticmaalayso adeeggiisa VPN . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, isticmaalayaasha kale ayaa laga yaabaa inay nagu heshiiyaan markaan niraahno labadan sifo waa in si toos ah loogu furo qaabka gaarka ah ee Opera .

FIIRO GAAR AH:^(NOTE:) Qaarkiin ayaa laga yaabaa in ay yiraahdaan VPN -ka ay bixiso Opera waa ^(Opera)VPN wakiil ku salaysan oo aan qarsoodi ahayn dhammaan taraafikadaada. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad xitaa tiraahdo kuma habboona tayada iyo qarsoodinimada ee xalka dhabta ah ee VPN uu bixiyo. Sax baad ahaan lahayd, laakiin si kastaba ha ahaatee, way ka badan tahay waxa daalacashada webka kale ay bixiyaan marka la eego sirta.

About InPrivate and Incognito. What's private browsing? Which browser is the best?

When you want to hide something you do online, you use a private browsing mode like Incognito, Private Browsing, or InPrivate. However, do you know how private you actually are when you use this way of browsing the web? Can others still see what you are doing online? Also, do you know which browser is best at protecting your privacy? We tested the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera, and we have the answers to all these questions. If you want to know all there is to know about InPrivate, Incognito, and other private browsing modes, read this article:

What is private browsing? What does it do?

Private browsing is a slightly more private way of browsing the web, compared to normal web browsing. In all the major web browsers, private browsing does the following:

• Deletes stored cookies from your browsing sessions when closing private browsing. This means that if you have logged into Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, or some other website, when you close all the private browsing tabs and windows, these cookies are deleted, and you are automatically signed out. Suppose someone else tries to visit the same websites in a new browsing window. In that case, they are NOT automatically logged in with your account(s). Cookies from non-private browsing sessions remain as they are.
• Deletes the data you type in forms, like sign-up pages, login pages, or contact pages. When browsing the web, you may need to enter data into all kinds of forms, manually. When you close all the private browsing tabs and windows, this data is deleted and cannot be reused by anyone.
• Deletes temporary files and the cache from your browsing session. When you visit a website, files get downloaded to your computer or device, like images, styling files, and so on. All these files are stored on your computer for your private browsing session's duration to make browsing faster. However, when you close all the private browsing tabs and windows, these files are deleted, so that they cannot be accessed and used by anyone else who knows where to look for them on the disk.
• Deletes the browsing history from your browsing session. When you browse the web, the web browser stores a log of everything you have visited, so that you can access this information later or autocomplete addresses when you type them in the address bar. When you browse privately, your session's browsing history gets automatically deleted when you close all the private browsing tabs and windows. This way, other people with access to the same computer or device cannot know what you have visited on the web just by looking at your web browser.
• Does not store the search history from your browsing session. In modern browsers, you can search the web straight from their address bar. You insert keywords, press Enter, and they are sent automatically to the default search engine to return results. In regular browsing sessions, this data is stored for later reuse, to help you browse the web faster. In private browsing, this data is not stored at all, so that others can not reuse it when accessing the same computer or device.

All these things are great features that enhance your privacy and confidentiality. They are useful to protect yourself from other people who have access to the same computer, so that they don't know what you are doing online. However, private browsing does not mean that no one can track you.

TIP: Did you know that you can create shortcuts for your browsers to automatically launch private browsing sessions? Check this guide to learn how: Make InPrivate or Incognito shortcuts for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Internet Explorer.

What private browsing does not do

Private browsing is not a silver bullet, and some entities can still track you, depending on the web browser that you are using and how it is set up:

• The files you download and the bookmarks you save remain where you saved them. You need to delete them manually if you do not want others to see them or use them.
• You are not protected from keyloggers and spyware. Even though the browser deletes the data you type, keyloggers and spyware act as independent programs that intercept all keystrokes. To protect yourself from these threats, you need a good antivirus.
• Your internet service provider knows everything you have done online, unless you use a VPN alongside private browsing, to encrypt your traffic. Fortunately, some browsers offer this kind of protection in their private browsing mode. Read on to learn more.
• Suppose you are in an organization, like a corporation or a school. In that case, your web browser communicates with a proxy server and a DNS (Domain Name Server) managed by that organization. This means that the IT administrator might log your activity online, and they know what websites you have browsed. To protect yourself, you need a VPN to go along with private browsing. Luckily, some browsers offer built-in VPN protection.
• The websites that you visit know that you visited them. However, if you also log into those sites, they know precisely that it was you and what you have done while visiting them. If you do not log in, they know that they have a visitor. Some websites might even identify you through more advanced tracking, which leads us to the next point.
• Ad networks know what you visited and what you searched for. Ad networks use advanced tracking techniques that track your browsing data across multiple sites, using your IP address, browser identifier, and cookies. Some browsers offer tracking protection or at least ad-blocking features in private browsing. If you enable them, it is harder for ad networks to track you. Enable a VPN connection too, and your private browsing becomes more challenging to track.

The web browsers we used for comparison and the add-ons we installed

For our comparison of private browsing modes, we used the following browsers for Windows: Google Chrome version 85 (64-bit), Mozilla Firefox version 81 (64-bit), Microsoft Edge version 85 (64-bit), and Opera 71.

We also installed the Pocket, LastPass, Amazon Assistant, and Avast Online Security extensions to see whether they are active in private browsing and whether they track user behavior.

What is the best browser for inprivate browsing?

We tested each browser individually and double-checked that it does what promises. We also verified the following:

• Does the browser allow you to recover a closed tab when private browsing? This is a negative feature because you may forget one private tab open, and someone else can come to the same PC and restore all your closed tabs to see what you have visited.
• Does the browser disable extensions? If a browser does not disable them browsing privately, you can be tracked by the add-ons installed in your browser. This is another critical negative, especially when using browsers with nasty toolbars and dodgy add-ons installed, like those from public places.
• Does the browser block advertising and other types of tracking? Advertising networks have the habit of tracking users across multiple websites, knowing what they want and serving ads that are more likely to get clicked.
• Does the browser offer a built-in VPN? This feature is useful when you do not want other organizations to know what you are doing online. When using a VPN, your browsing is encrypted, your internet service provider does not know what you are visiting, and neither does the organization whose network you are on. Even advertisements are misled into thinking that you are someone else.

Below you can see a comparison of all the features that are offered in the default versions of each browser. Some of the Yes boxes are colored in green, while others are colored in red. We used red and green to signal whether a feature or its absence is positive or negative. Green represents a positive feature, and red represents a negative.

As you can see in the table, the best browsers for private browsing are Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. However, with a bit of tinkering, Opera can outperform both of them! Let's discuss each browser, one by one, and see what they offer and what they do not.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge cover all the private browsing basics, except for VPN

When it comes to inprivate browsing, the Incognito mode from Google Chrome and the InPrivate mode from Microsoft Edge offer all the basics. They can prevent other people using the same computer from knowing what you are doing online, but that is it. They can't protect you from your Internet Service Provider, your employer, or school, but hey, neither does Firefox!

Mozilla Firefox is a mixed bag when it comes to private browsing

Firefox's private browsing feature has one issue that was present in its older versions and still persists. It allows users to restore closed tabs, even when browsing privately. If you forget one private browsing tab is open, someone else can restore your closed tabs and learn what you were doing online.

On the other hand, Firefox blocks trackers by default, but so do all the other browsers we tested.

Opera could be the best at private browsing if you enable two features

Opera has built-in features that could place it above the others when it comes to private browsing. However, these features are not turned on by default, so you need to enable them manually. When you open a private browsing window, it offers the same protection level as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. However, you also get a VPN button on the left side of the address bar. Furthermore, Opera encourages you in its description of private browsing to enable VPN. If you click the VPN button, you are automatically connected to Opera's best VPN server, depending on your location. This way, your ISP and your computer's organization should not know what you are doing online. Also, advertisers might treat you like another user from another location.

If you want ad-blocking and tracking protection, you can get that too, because it is built into Opera. However, it is not turned on by default. Click or tap the big O button in the top-left corner and go to Settings. The first settings are "Block ads" and "Block trackers." Check these two boxes, and you get the most private browsing a web browser can offer, using only built-in tools and features.

We appreciate what Opera has to offer, as it's the only browser we tested that can somewhat protect you from your ISP, employer, or school, as long as you use its VPN service. However, other users may agree with us when we say that these two features should be enabled by default in Opera's private browsing mode.

NOTE: Some of you may say that the VPN offered by Opera is just a proxy-based VPN that does not encrypt your entire traffic. You might even say that it does not match the quality and anonymity that a real VPN solution offers. You would be right, but even so, it is more than what the other web browsers offer in terms of privacy.

What is your opinion about private browsing and what all browsers offer in this regard?

Now you know what private browsing is, what it does, and what it does not do. You also have a comparison of the different private browsing modes that are offered by all the major web browsers. We are curious to know your view on this subject and what you think about our analysis. Comment below, and let's discuss it.
