How do I disable private browsing on Safari 10.5.8? iMac

I would like to disable the private browsing feature on my iMac. The safari version is 5.0.6 and the MacOS X version is 10.5.8. I have tried everything I can find on the net and nothing is working. I need this done ASAP as this computer is being sent to my 12 year old niece. I would rather her not be able to hide her browsing habits.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Another consideration is the availability to 'reset' Safari

whereby all recent activities are not recorded... This is

an easy way for any user to erase the browser history.


{Just looked in link above & see the 'reset' mentioned.}


Perhaps a keystroke recording software may help?


If the younger user has a standard or restricted account

and has no access via an Admin account, then other

options may present themselves beyond parental control.


Kids learn how things work, and also ask their friends.


Good luck! 😐
