It's Your Privacy Topic for Today Is: Browser Privacy Settings: Do They Really Work?

According to researchers from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon, their first-ever study of the privacy mode in browsers found multiple weaknesses, which attackers could exploit to reconstruct a browser's true history.

Do these so-called "privacy settings" really work or do they just give you a false sense of security (and privacy)?

Some claim that these browsers sometimes leak information when in private mode. So is privacy with your browser's settings as illusionary as privacy on the Internet?

We're going to explore the issue of "privacy settings" of the three major browsers, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome and see if they really do work! You won't want to miss this revealing, informative and eye-opening show!
