\subsection{Private Browsing Mode}
\label{subsec:Private Browsing Mode}
The private browsing mode is a feature offered by all major browser that intends
to improve privacy by not allowing access to storage areas within the browser.
Users associate it with an increase of privacy compared to normal or public
mode. Unfortunately, implementations of the private browsing mode are inconsistent
across browsers and what is deemed worthy of protection is largely up to browser
vendors. \citet[p.~440]{xuUCognitoPrivateBrowsing2015} provide a comprehensive
overview of browsers and their private browsing mode practices. Most notably,
Safari allows access to earlier cookies, history and HTML5 storage while other
browsers disallow it. Table~\ref{tab:private browsing mode} provides a list of
browsers and their protection against tracking with the methods from
chapter~\ref{chap:tracking methods}.
