Using a computer in public
There are times when you might not want to leave any traces of your web browsing actions on the computer you're using...
So maybe you want to protect your identity, or are concerned about your security and want peace of mind should your computer ever get stolen. You might even be booking a secret getaway for your partner and don't want to leave clues!

Whenever you surf the web some of the information about your visit is automatically sent to the website provider.
Filtering helps you control this information and choose which providers (if any) receive information about the places you visit. This is especially handy if you are using a computer in a public place (Internet Cafe or maybe the library).
