Microsoft Adds Privacy Tools To IE8

Microsoft is going to bring new privacy tools to IE8. Andy Zeigler, IE Program Manager, shares some details about these tools on Team Blog. In a nutshell, IE8 will contain following features:

* InPrivate™ Browsing lets users control whether or not IE saves their browsing history, cookies, and other data
* Delete Browsing History helps users control their browsing history after they’ve visited websites.
* InPrivate™ Blocking informs users about content that is in a position to observe their browsing history, and allows them to block it.

* InPrivate™ Subscriptions allow users to augment the capability of InPrivate™ Blocking by subscribing to lists of websites to block or allow.

For more specific details please see the IE Team's blog entry.
