iOS Chrome has "Incognito Mode*". The asterisk is there because WebKit does not have any way to make localStorage private, meaning it's shared between Incognito and Normal browsing modes, so there's a possible leak of information there, especially if they're using a third party tracking service. This is true for any of the private web surfing apps that use WebKit.
- kamkha 14y agoNow I'm curious—what does "Private Browsing" do when enabled in Settings > Safari?
- wildranter 14y agoIt only clears your browsing traces locally (history, cookies, cache, etc). Everything else can still be tracked on server-side. BTW, every private browsing mode that I know works pretty much that way. In the current model real privacy can only be achieved running something like Tor.
