== Private Browsing ==
We target Private Browsing to 3 privacy goals; in a Private Browsing session, Firefox: * Doesn’t save the browsing history or display it in the Firefox UI* Prevents the session's data from writing to persistent storage* Protects the session's data from online tracking
The first 2 goals focus on a local adversary - someone with direct access to Firefox. Private Browsing was initially designed with just these two goals in mind. The initial design concentrated on isolating Private Browsing mode from regular browsing mode.
By default, we also block connections to 3rd-party trackers in private windows. [https://disconnect.me/ Disconnect.me] maintains the list of 3rd-party trackers. For more information, see the [[Services/TrackingProtection|Tracking Protection]] page.
