In a meeting with reporters this week, Satya Nadella, senior vice president of Microsoft's search, portal and advertising platform group, said the company's browser, Internet Explorer (IE), will come with a private-browsing mode.
On the Istartedsomething.com blog, details have also surfaced of two telling Microsoft trademarks that appear related: Cleartracks and Inprivate.
Both trademarks relate to web browsers, according to the applications, with a 30 July filing date. The Cleartracks trademark involves "computer programs for deleting search history after accessing websites", according to the Microsoft filing.
The Inprivate trademark involves "computer programs for disabling the history and file-caching features of a web browser; and computer software for notifying a user of a web browser when others are tracking web use and for controlling the information others can access about such use".
