Erase your steps.
The Internet browser Brave now offers a “Request Off the Record (OTR)” feature that hides your surfing from other users on your PC. This means that a visited website is not saved in the browser’s history, cookie, or temporary folders, making it similar to the “incognito window” in Chrome and other browsers.
A website can use the new feature by adding the code Request-OTR: 1 to the header. But you must first activate OTR in Brave. Enter brave://flags in the URL bar. Now enter the term “OTR” in the search field and select “Enable” from the drop-down menu after “Enable Request-OTR Tab.” After restarting the browser, the feature is activated.
If you subsequently call up such a website with Brave, the browser asks whether the website should be opened confidentially. If you click “Yes,” a temporary storage area is created for caches, cookies, authorizations, and the like. This storage area is deleted again when you leave the website.
To be able to use this feature, you must update Brave to version 1.53. You can view the current version of your browser via the “About Brave” menu icon. The feature is useful, but the number of web services that offer OTR still seems to be limited, so you might have better results using an Incognito window in Firefox or another browser until Brave’s new OTR feature spreads further.
