On the client, approaches to preserving user privacy often involve preventing sensitive data from being exposed in the clear on persistent storage. Web browsers serve as a canonical example of such an approach. As part of their
normal execution, browsers store a large amount of personal information that could potentially be damaging were it to be disclosed, such as the browsing history, bookmarks, cache, cookie store, or local storage contents. In recognition of the fact that users might not want to leave traces of particularly sensitive browsing sessions, browsers now typically offer a “private browsing mode” that attempts to prevent persistent modifications to storage that could provide some indication of the user’s activities during such a session. In this mode, sensitiveuserdatathatwouldnormallybepersistedtodiskis instead only stored temporarily, if at all, and when a private browsing session ends, this data is discarded.
