Q: Private browsing saves session

When closing out of private browsing everything seems back to normal. However, when you re-enable it, Safari remembers exactly where you left off. Anybody can just hit private browsing and see what you've been looking at. One should not have to manually close out of their tabs before disabling private browsing.

 

Is there any way to disable the saved sessions when closing out of private browsing?

    Safari will not retain the history or the autofIll information, but you have to close each tab when you are done in private browsing.

     

    This is what the kb article states.

     

    When you use Private Browsing, you can visit websites without creating a search history in Safari.
