Here are times when you want to use your private windows ;
- When its time to finally commit to travel, airline tickets or big ticket items. Most people will do a lot of search online before they commit. There will come a time when vendors know your preference is inclining towards them after a few visits. They use algorithm for this. Used to be bad in the past where differential pricing was common.
- When you want your search results not be biased based on your past browsing history. A fresh outlook.
- When you are curious and go digging into something online that you do not want associated with your usual online persona.
- You do not want anything stored in your history or in the cloud.
