Private browsing modes still leak data

Think that you are safe with private browsing modes on your computer? Think again, as it has been revealed that even in a private browsing mode that is now made a feature in many browsers, your computer will still leak data. This happens due to additions to the browser or extra security on websites. Apparently, a slew of extras that people knowingly (or not) add to browsers can “completely undermine” the anonymity of private browsing. Guess there isn’t too much of a big deal about private browsing modes now with such news, but we hope that future versions of web browsers will feature a stronger security setup that isn’t so easily broken into.
