Next Flash Version Will Support Private Browsing

Posted by kdawson on from the en-oh-wye-bee dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The world rolled its eyes when the problem of Flash cookies came to light several months ago. Even if you're careful about cookies or even if you use your browser's private surfing feature, sites can still track you through cookies stored by Flash. However, soon enough the next version of Flash, 10.1, will support private browsing and will integrate with browsers to turn it on when the browser itself is in private browsing mode. Browsers still store data during a private browser session, but they will delete it all at the end of the session. The same will be true of Flash private browsing."

    OR If everyone somehow miraculously switches to a web browser like Firefox or Chrome that are actually safe and fast.

    Give me a break, Opera is much faster and far more secure than Firefox or Chrome, and consumes far fewer resources. They should change the name from Firefox to Firehog for all the memory leaks that grind any system down to a halt if you use if for more than one or two tabs.
