Start Microsoft Edge in private mode - how it works

With the private mode you can use your browser without leaving any traces. We will show you whether the mode is also available in Microsoft Edge and how to activate it.

Private mode in Microsoft Edge - when does it come?

• Unfortunately, there is currently no private mode in Microsoft Edge. This is also not to be found in the final version of Windows 10.
• Microsoft Edge is not yet very rich in functions and we are likely to expand it further. The promised add-ons cannot yet be used either.
• In the coming months, Microsoft Edge should receive private mode via an update. You can then activate this in the top right of the menu under "Settings".
• If you still want to protect your privacy, you can delete the history in Microsoft Edge regularly or after each use. It only takes 5 clicks.
