private browsing

A feature of many web browsers that allows the user to prevent any data (like history, cookies, or the cache) from being stored while it is on. Also known as porn mode for really obvious reasons, but may be used whenever any sensitive/confidential information is going to be transmitted.

Private browsing is more comprehensive than simply erasing the history, because that's just a list of URLs, and browsers also save things like cookies (for sites to remember you) and images in the cache (to load faster later).

Private browsing is just a browser feature — there are other ways visited sites are tracked (for example, by your Internet provider), so it's not foolproof.

Say you are about to purchase a surprise for someone. If you choose a private browsing session, after you're done, other people won't see what gift you bought, or your credit card number, or your drug trafficking, or your porn.

Privacy Rapist

A person that crosses boundaries into someone's private life. Butts into personal life.

Example 1:"What are you doing?"

"That is none of your business, stop being such a privacy rapist."

Example 2: "I was just sitting on my porch, minding my own business, and this privacy rapist kept staring at me."

internet privacy

a commonly believed myth of the 21st century. The perfect example of an oxymoron.

Some people believe in magic, bigfoot, and the Loch Ness monster...many more believe they have internet privacy

Al Worood Academy Private School

A mental sanatorium established in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 1982 by the honourable Abdulla Al-Neweis. Tucked into a dusty corner, the cardboard school as it is popularly known, contains 'a swimming pool that is always being built next year', lame-faced lame-duck teachers, depressed students on the verge of suicide(unfortunately no deaths), & the most ridiculous school politics.
Apparently the LATEST rumour...'it's gonna close down' along with other shitty gossip of 'embezzlement of funds'...phew & what not.

Those cool kids ova there go to Al Worood Academy Private School.
