Private Browsing Microsoft Style

February 1st, 2016

All browsing done with Edge in “InPrivate” mode is logged. haha

It even flags the “InPrivate” visits in the log.

Is anyone actually using Edge, besides security researchers attempting to see how screwed it is?

So just how private is InPrivate Browsing mode in Microsoft Edge? Not as private as Microsoft would lead you to believe. Through my research I have discovered that the websites visited while running in PrivacIE mode are still stored in the same IE/Edge WebCacheV01.dat ESE database.

In the Container_n table the website history records are stored. In this table there is a field called “Flag”, if the website was visited in PrivacIE mode there the value of this field will be “8”.
