For those of us that have something to hide, you’ll be happy to know that in iOS 5 Safari offers a private internet browsing mode. Once it is toggled on it prevents Safari from compiling a history of your browser activity.

By default private internet browsing is turned off, but you can quickly turn it on and leave it on from within the Settings app. Here are the steps:

  1. Launch the Settings app.
  2. Tap on Safari.
  3. Toggle Private Browsing On by tapping the switch associated with it.
You maybe prompted to select whether or not you want to keep or close all currently opened tabs in Safari. Just select the option that is best for you.

Once you complete these steps Safari is in private internet browsing mode, more commonly known as ‘Porn Mode! ‘ All your internet surfing secrets are now between you, Safari and the sites you visit.
