What we had in the nineties was that we could configure our browsers to ask for every single cookie that a site wanted to place on our computers. That got old really fast when internet advertising became a thing, and tracking cookies were all over the place.

Seems the first browser to implement some sort of incognito/private/separated profile (specifically to hide your tracks, not general like Firefox Profiles) was Safari around the release of Mac OS X Tiger (April 29, 2005).
