How to hide your data from prying eyes

open all


Use private browsing

What for: To leave no tracks.

By default, Microsoft Edge saves a list of pages you visit, files you download, and other information. It helps you find the websites you need and use them comfortably. However, if you share your smartphone, important personal info may be revealed to others. To avoid this, use the private browsing mode. The browser will delete all browsing data from private windows and tabs when you close them, but it won't affect browsing history and website data logging in general.

To activate the private mode:

  1. Tap the three dots at the bottom of the screen;
  2. Select New InPrivate tab.

Choose a tracking protection level

What for: To set the privacy and security level that suits you.

By default, Microsoft Edge protects your privacy when browsing and blocks trackers that collect information about your Internet activities, interests and preferences. In addition, Microsoft Edge protects you against malicious scripts such as cryptominers, which secretly draw on your device resources. To configure tracking prevention:

  1. Tap the three dots at the bottom of the screen;
  2. Select Settings;
  3. Go to the Privacy and security section;
  4. Open the Tracking prevention menu and select the level that suits you:
  5. Basic. Microsoft Edge will block some tracking tools and terminate the known dangerous scripts.
  6. Balanced. Microsoft Edge will block tracking tools of advertising networks and terminate dangerous scripts.
  7. Strict. Microsoft Edge will block all tracking tools and terminate dangerous scripts.

Downside: If you select the strict tracking prevention level, some websites may work incorrectly.
