Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 After downloaded Mozilla firefox at my job because google chrome shockwave flash kept crashing, I noticed a thing on the top of mozilla that says private browsing. Does anyone use Mozilla? I noticed that no history is shown when using private browsing, so I was asking - can the company I work for have no idea what I am browsing? Not that I have anything to hide, but I'd like to know I'm secure from them knowing that I am on facebook/twitter/this forum when I am at work even though I barely use it (okay, I use it but enough to get my work done). Or can the company still look into what I am searching, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Ba Bluey Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's probably similar to google chrome's incognito window... Not sure if your company can still see it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Oh yeah, right, google chrome has the same shit. Well, I am not sure why my shockwave flash was constantly crashing on google chrome. I realized the same websites are working on Mozilla. Must have been something on google chrome.

Niagaraiceman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes, your company can see your browsing history. YOu are making active connections over an ISP, which means that even though you are not tracking through your computer, the websites your specific computer is visiting is still being logged somewhere else.

Correct. It's just not keeping a record of it locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 This sort of thing is basically a "hide the porn from your parents/significant other" feature. It's not designed to protect you from ANYTHING you are not supposed to be doing at your employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, and most girls aren't computer-savvy enough to know what they're looking at. They just see a clean history, with no downloads, etc. There are entire sites out there dedicated to teaching guys how to properly hide a digital porn collection.

When you download files with titles full of buzzwords, all she has to do is do a quick search for "tits" and you're caught red-handed. That's usually mistake number one. The second is leaving it in the downloads folder, or leaving it on that computer, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 We have separate accounts on the computer. Same. I also don't care if she's looking at porn. It's natural human behavior.
