How do you disable / remove / block private browsing in ios 8

I want to disable / block / remove private browsing from my iPhone 5 on iOS 8.1.2. I heard from a friend that you can type in a password somewhere in settings to do this which would be ideal. Any help would be much appreciated!

It took a while I had to follow a hunch. Go to settings> general> restrictions> set a restriction passcode and write it down> scroll down to websites> limit adult sites> on. Besides blocking private you can't erase Safari history when you have websites resrictions. See before and after below.

    By voiding your warranty and hacking it. There may be other fixes though. Try resetting network settings in settings>general>reset. If that doesn't work try a hard reset. If that doesn't work then backup, restore as new, then from backup

  • I want to remove the Private Browsing function as a Parental Control step. How?

    I don't want my child hiding things from me. How do I block or remove the Private Browsing functionality?

    You wouldn't be able to do it as long as the user has access to [[Profile folder]], lack of which makes Firefox not able to work - the user would be able to delete any data. Even prior to private browsing feature, history was clear-able in ''Tools'' - '' Clear recent history'' window.
    To have more control, you can block some websites/ports in the router or firewall, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4351/ FoxFilter] add-on can be helpful (but again, the users can simply un-install it).

  • How do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

    how do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

    I'll assume you mean Flash. If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Can I remove the "private browsing" option?

    Is it possible to completely remove the private browsing option in Firefox? I don't like the idea of people in my family having access to all sorts of sites, undetected by anyone. If not I may have to remove Firefox completely and return to Internet Explorer. Any help on this would be good.

    You could use the Menu Editor extension ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor]) to remove the menu entry, but this is only of limited use. For example it does not prevent anybody from clearing the browsing history.
    An alternative approach is to use a parental control program such as the free K9 web protection ([http://www.k9webprotection.com]). That program has its own log of sites visited, and you can use it to block access to categories of sites that you choose.

  • HT4314 How do you completely remove "Game Center" from an iPad?

    How do you completely remove “Game Center” from an iPad? Disabling Game Center is a joke because even after you disable it, it continues to reappear frequently prior to your game and “Demands” your attention before it allows you to play your game, this is very annoying. Also, if you are off the grid (e.g.: OCONUS) with no connectivity and the “Game Center” pops up you are blocked from playing your game(s) entirely with no recourse to include being blocked from doing the Game Center multiscreen dance of Canceling and finally Disabling Game Center (yup, they have a button for it on one of the last popup screens But that button to Disable it is completely ineffective because Game Center will still reappear in a day or so). Kindly note that I play single player games like solitaire that should not require the Game Center and some apple tech agree. Apple support techs also have not been helpful with my “Case” number. And no, under the General Settings even when you switch off both Game Center toggles it still overrides them et al. I bought this iPad because it looked like something fun to do and it is BUT I ignored the warnings that it would be a socially invasive toy with a forced unalterable protocol; next time should I listen more closely? Thanks for any understanding and assistance.
    Device: iPad 3G (iPad3,2)
    iOS version: 6.1.2

    Let apple know how you feel

    beyond that your only recourse is to look for games that are not game center games and only use those. The ability to disable game center was removed with iOS6 I believe. All you can do is block multiplayer games and game invites. Everything else is unalterable.

  • HT5312 how do you disable cookies

    How do you disable cookies in Safari?

    On Safari's Preferences (command-comma) on the Privacy tab you can set 'Block cookies' to 'Always'. Doing so may affect how some sites behave e.g. you may not be able to stay logged in to websites if you set it to 'always', 'block from third parties and advertisers' may be better.

  • How do you disable "digital optical output" so the red light in headphone jack goes off and I can use the internal speakers?

    HI,
    I have a red light in my headphone jack and I see "correct responses" listed as "when digital output is enabled speakers are disabled." That's all well and good but doens't really help. HOW do you disable the "digital output," get the red light to turn off and be able to hear through the speakers? What's the SOLUTION to the problem. Sorry, just a bit frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    dpeast12

    Allegedly this can occur if there is a contaminant in the headphone jack that makes the computer believe there is an optical connection there, so it shuts off the internal speakers.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug repeatedly. This ought to dislodge the junk, and seems to have fixed the problem for others. Hope it helps!
