To turn off Private Browsing in Safari on your Mac follow the steps below:


  • "In the Safari app  on your Mac, close the Private Browsing window, switch to a different Safari window that isn’t using Private Browsing, or choose File > New Window to open a window that doesn’t use Private Browsing. To further enhance privacy:
    • Delete any items you downloaded while using Private Browsing windows.
    • Close any other Private Browsing windows that are still open, to prevent other people from using the Back and Forward buttons to see pages you visited in them."
