Private Browsing
In a private browsing session, IceDragon does not store:
- Browser history
- Search history
- Download history
- Web form entries
- Cookies
- Passwords
- Temporary internet files
This helps improve your overall security by removing any local copies of internet activity. Any bookmarks you create are, however, kept.
- Click the hamburger / menu button at top-right
- Select 'New Private Window'
- Start browsing as normal by opening a bookmark or searching from the address bar
- A mask icon is shown at top-right while in 'Private Browsing' mode:
See Block

- Click 'Options' > 'Privacy & Security' tab
- Click the 'IceDragon will' drop-down > select 'Use custom settings for history'
