Microsoft Edge <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/windows-10-microsofts-new-browser-is.html">is <em>not</em> the most popular web browser</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/626993/Microsoft-Edge-Windows-10-Default-Browser-Internet-Explorer-Security">the Internet Explorer replacement might have a problem</a> keeping your private browsing sessions private.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to researcher Ashish Singh, websites visited in the browser's InPrivate mode can still be recovered from the computer's hard-drive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Examining the WebCache file stored on the users' computer reveals every website they have visited – even those checked while in the privacy-focused InPrivate mode.</div>

</script>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any visited sites are stored in a "Container_n" table – even those you'd rather were kept secret, the Forensic Focus researcher has revealed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The functioning and backend of Project Spartan aka Edge Browser is no different from the Internet Explorer latest version," Mr Singh has claimed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The forensic examination of most web browsers has proven that they don’t have a provision for storing the details of privately browsed web sessions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Private browsing is provided for a purpose, i.e. privately browsing the web, which is being delivered. However, in the case of Microsoft Edge even the private browsing isn’t as private as it seems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Any skilled investigator can easily spot the difference and get concrete evidence against a person’s wrongdoings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Plenty of artefacts are maintained by the browser, which makes examination quite easy. However, there are stages where evidence is not so easy to find. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The not-so-private browsing featured by Edge makes its very purpose seem to fail."</div>

Microsoft Edge is not the first browser to run into some trouble with private browsing modes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Private browsing has always left easily retrievable artefacts on disk and in memory," digital forensics specialist Lesley Carhart told The Verge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It’s always been a privacy feature, not a security feature."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This mirrors the comments made by DuckDuckGo CEO Gabe Weinberg last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the technology CEO, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/watching-porn-on-your-internet-browsers.html">the private browsing mode in your web browser isn't very private at all.</a></div>

“Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider or the websites that you visit.” the hugely popular web browser warns users.</div>

Google is also able to track your activity and searches within its browser's Incognito Mode, especially if you sign-in to one of their apps while in a private mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you haven’t disabled or paused your account's Google Web History – you are able to log-in and track your activity there, too.</div>

The difference with so-called Super Cookies is that these have the ability to continue tracking users in private browsing mode, too.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
MICROSOFT hoped its new minimalist Edge web browser would be a fresh start for the company. But it turns out, that's not quite how it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft Edge,<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/windows-10-microsofts-new-browser-is.html"> which is a failure compared to rival browsers from Google and Mozilla</a>, was supposed to be a revolutionary new browser for <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/microsofts-first-blockbuster-windows-10.html">Windows 10</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With deep Cortana integration across the web, support to annotate webpages using a stylus and a stripped-back reading mode, there is a lot to like about Microsoft Edge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But underneath the shiny new functionality, Microsoft Edge suffers from many of the same security holes as Internet Explorer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Infoworld</em> writer and researcher, <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/3012987/microsoft-windows/microsoft-edge-has-inherited-many-of-internet-explorers-security-holes.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Woody Leonhard</a> is suspicious that Edge has been built on "a rotten old foundation."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Looking at yesterday's Patch Tuesday announcement and the one for November has me wondering how much of this improved security is new bananas – and how much is built on a rotten old foundation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For example, yesterday Microsoft released MS15-124, a cumulative update for Internet Explorer, alongside MS15-125, an analogous patch for Microsoft Edge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Out of the 15 CVE holes plugged in Edge, 11 of those same holes were also plugged in IE. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Looking back at November's Patch Tuesday, all four of the CVEs fixed by Edge's MS15-113 were also identified as fixed problems with IE's MS15-112.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These security flaws are a far cry from the bold promises made by Microsoft Edge senior program manager Crispin Cowan in the months before Windows 10 rolled out worlwide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"With Microsoft Edge, we want to fundamentally improve security over existing browsers and enable users to confidently experience the web from Windows," he posted in a blog post entitled, Microsoft Edge: Building a safer browser.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We have designed Microsoft Edge to defend users from increasingly sophisticated and prevalent attacks."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft is increasingly keen to move users to its new touch-focused web browser and as a result, it has decided to drop support for the vast majority of Internet Explorer users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Users should upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer to ensure they are always up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The announcement was made on the Microsoft support pages, " "Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical supports and security updates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Internet Explorer 11 is the last version of Internet Explorer, and will continue to receive security updates, compatibility fixes, and technical support on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Millions of people across the globe are still using older versions of Internet Explorer – leaving them open to attacks from hackers and cybercriminals.</div>

But despite the latest Microsoft browser being set as the default in Windows 10, users have turned their back on the new software.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to data from San Francisco-based firm Quantcast, Google Chrome accounts for a staggering 70 per cent of all browser activity on Windows 10 machines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The news comes after search firm Google announced it too will end support for its hugely popular Chrome browser on some older operating systems by April 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Windows Vista, Windows XP, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will no longer be supported.</div>
