How Much You Are Safe In Private Browsing ?


 In Private Browsing, the browser did not  save the browsing history and ,password and saved    content. But if you are thinking that you are safe ads,malware attack,viruses and ISP monitoring then you are thinking wrong ,many of the people are unaware of these things.

In last few years its very common feature in the browser for private browsing and the main goal of this functionality was to protect the user privacy. In the private browsing window generally there is  a dark theme and icon of masked this tells the user that are browsing anonymously. This type of browsing in chrome is known as Incognito Window and in Safari browser or in mozilla firefox its known as Private Browsing.


Here the concern is that many of the users think that it will protect him malware attack,ads and viruses but its not that.

In the private window when we are browsing then the cookies are saved temporary during the session and when you close the window the cookies are destroyed .  As the websites can not identify you without the cookies and each time when you visit they will treat you as a new user but still they can find information about you by your IP address and browsing information.


Things Which Are Hide During By Private Browsing:

There are the only few things which are hide in private browsing and those are cookies and browsing history. A little introduction about cookies is that like when you visit a website and you logged in there then the browser saved the information about that account and stay logged in even after closing the window i.e. the information about the website are stored and websites keep tracking of cookies.
If you browse privately then the cookies and browsing history will not be saved these will be destroyed when you will close all the private window. Some points to be noted that if you are downloading some files then will be stored on your devices memory similar to this if you are saving any page ot bookmarking the page then it will also be available even after closing the private window.

Can Anyone Still See your Browsing History?

 The internet service provider still can see your search history what are you browsing on the internet 
and it can be also tracked or monitoring by government agency and it does not matter for him you are browsing privately.
If you want to hide your information from ISP  then there are some app and websites available those are called VPN (virtual private network ).Vpns are third party application that redirects you to your websites which you want to browse . In this case ISP will be able to know that you are using VPNs but still it cant not find in which site you are browsing and what . Because it is completely encrypted internet traffic. And more thing  is that if ISP is collecting your information then its not useful for him because that not your actual IP address and with a different a location. There are TOR networks which are more safe than VPNs but that required very fast internet connection because its uses a series of VPNs and its algorithm  are very hard to backtrack and find the source.

Private Browsing Stop Viruses,Malicious Website and Malware  ?

The malware will affect your privacy and data leakage only after it is installed on the devices like Pc or Phones after installation it does not matter that you are browsing privately and Malicious websites also will cause harm when you visit those website it also does not matter for him you are privately browsing . 
If you have came any suspicious mail and there is some attachment file you download and install those application then it will harm your devices and data. For protection from viruses ,malicious website and malware you have to install the ANTIVIRUS on the system then only you will be mostly safe and when you are browsing internet then at time it will monitor and look if there is any suspicious activity or any malware attack then it will block him or if there is any malware installed already in the system then it will find that and stop from  working. Private browsing is generally useful for a quick browsing and and for small session. i.e. if after your private session end it will destroy the cookies and browsing history and data stored during the private session.Private Browsing will not hide your identity over the internet.

AI in Healthcare: Transforming Genetic Research and Beyond

  Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, and healthcare is no exception. One of the most promising applications of AI in healthcare is its role in genetic research, particularly in predicting and understanding protein structures. A breakthrough in this domain came with Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold, an AI system that accurately predicts 3D protein structures from amino acid sequences. This achievement has immense implications for diagnosing genetic disorders, identifying potential treatments, and advancing precision medicine. The significance of AI’s role in genetic research was highlighted when Sir Demis Hassabis and Dr. John Jumper were co-awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to AlphaFold. This blog explores the applications of AI in healthcare, focusing on genetic research, disease prediction, and personalized medicine.

What is the program to find that the given number is prime number or not in C language?

  A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In C++, we can write a program to check whether a given number is prime or not. The program to find if a given number is prime or not in C++ can be written in several ways. Here, we will discuss two different approaches to write this program. Approach 1: Using a for loop In this approach, we will use a for loop to check if the given number is divisible by any number between 2 and n/2. If the number is divisible by any number in this range, then it is not a prime number. Otherwise, it is a prime number. Here is the code for the same: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n, i; bool isPrime = true; cout << "Enter a positive integer: "; cin >> n; for (i = 2; i <= n / 2; ++i) { if (n % i == 0) { isPrime = false; break; } } if (isPrime) cout << n <...

Whatsapp Scam:

No, WhatsApp is not offering 1000GB free internet data. Now a days here a new type of scam is going on WhatsApp. A new internet scam is doing rounds on WhatsApp. Users are getting messages that WhatsApp is offering them 1000GB free data. Clicking on the link takes WhatsApp users to a survey site and promises rewards.   Have you received a WhatsApp message offering 1000GB free Internet data? Beware, as it is a scam that is spreading fast. Researchers from cybersecurity firm ESET have received a message on WhatsApp stating that the app was giving away 1000 GB of internet data to celebrate its 10th anniversary this year.  Security researchers from cyber security firm ESET recently received a fradulent message which claimed that WhatsApp was offering them 1000GB free data. What was particularly odd about the message was that the URL that accompanied the text message was not from WhatsApp's official domain.
