I just found out that with Ios5 if you go on Facebook, it will be shown in your Bookmark History even if you are using Private Browsing.
As anyone discovered other occurences when your internet websites visits have been showing in your Bookmark History when on Private browsing ?
As anyone found out how to configure your ipad in order to eliminate any web sites visits showing in your history, as private browsing meant to me.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Similar problem here. Even in private browsing mode, simple Google searches will appear in the History folder. This doesn't qualify as private browsing if data is left behind. Apple needs to fix this.

I cant understand how they can call it private browsing when the tabs you were looking at before you closed Safari are still showing when you reopen Safari next time

Agreed... same problem here. I would consider this a critical error.

I have experienced the same. It looks as something Apple has to fixed. For the moment, before exiting SAFARI, i suggest you to close all the open tabs. If not, anyone opening SAFARI after you will be able, using the back button, to find out what sites you visited. Pretty private

Did you try 'stealth browser' (iPad app) ?

Does the privacy option slow down browsing. I wouldn't mind using it otherwise.

as far as I can remember Private browsing on mobile safari is not the same as the desktop private browsing. Your device will still show history and things like that. Its more like turning on "do not track" where it will request websites requesting that the websites do not track you. It is then up to the website server to obey the request and not log any information about you.

Hmmmmm. I am sure they obey...

My Secret Folder is an app that allows passcode protection and doesn't save browsing history. If you have an iPad 2, you can even set it up so it takes a photo of anyone who tries to access the folder with the wrong passcode.
