  2. Private browsing — We can use the following to safely browse internet:
    1. Incognito browsing — It opens up a version of the browser that will not track our activity.
    2. Proxy — It works by acting as a middleman between our computer and the website we want to access.
    3. Virtual Private Network — It is a method used to protect our system from hackers trying to access our sensitive information.
