Is there an easy way to disable private browsing in Safari 6?

It's not quite clear what you mean. Private browsing is off by default. If you want to make private browsing impossible for another user, look into Parental Controls.

Why when using private browsing does Safari still remember websites visited?

Even when private browsing is selected on my MacBook and iPad2, websites visited are remembered and displayed in history. Why is this?

Hi Graham,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Is it possible that you have some Safari windows open as private browsing, and others not? See the overview of private browsing below (see the note I've highlighted in bold):
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Use Private Browsing windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19216
Use Private Browsing windows in Safari
When you use Private Browsing windows, Safari doesn’t save your browsing history, and it asks websites you visit not to track you.
Use Private Browsing:
Choose File > New Private Window, or switch to a Safari window that’s already using Private Browsing. A window that’s using Private Browsing has a dark address and search field with white text.
When you use a Private Browsing window:
Each tab in the window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t track your browsing in other tabs.
Safari doesn’t remember the webpages you visit or your AutoFill information.
Safari doesn’t store your open webpages in iCloud, so they aren’t shown when you view all your open tabs from other devices.
Your recent searches aren’t included in the results list when you use the address and search field.
Items you download aren’t included in the downloads list. (The items do remain on your computer.
Safari doesn’t remember changes to your cookies or other website data. Safari also asks websites and others who provide those sites with content (including advertisers) not to keep track of your browsing, although it is up to the websites to honor this request.
Plug-ins that support Private Browsing stop storing cookies and other tracking information.
Websites can’t modify information stored on your device, so services normally available at such sites may work differently until you turn off Private Browsing.
Note: None of the above applies in other Safari windows you may have open that don’t use Private Browsing.
Stop using Private Browsing:
Close the Private Browsing window, switch to a different Safari window that isn’t using Private Browsing, or choose File > New Window to open a window that doesn’t use Private Browsing. To further enhance privacy:
Delete any items you downloaded while using Private Browsing windows.
Close any other Private Browsing windows that are still open, to prevent others from using the Back and Forward buttons to see pages you visited in them.
Besides using Private Browsing windows, you can manage cookies and data stored by all websites and have Safari ask all websites not to track you.
If you forget to use a Private Browsing window, you can clear your browsing history.

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari. It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default.

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari.
It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default. It's tyering when have to do it everyday a few times. (Yes, i'm one of many who have the "i like safari but since the update crash everyday a few times" syndrome...
Yes, i have updated my system.
Yes, i have repared disk permissions with disk utility.
Am open for any other help in both cases. Thank you upfront
2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
"Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
From this website:
http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.
Flush can be downloaded from that page.
If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff!
This article covers the issue in more depth:
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
"I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
"I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."

And a more recent article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/technology/21cookie.html?_r=3&scp=1&sq=flash&s t=cse
[b]Tracker cookies and the invisible web:[/b]
– tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior.
Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.
http://www.ghostery.com/about
This provides an extension to Safari (also available for other browsers) that shows you what data tracking is active on each web page you visit, and enables you to block them.

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

Safari 8 (Yosemite): Use Private Browsing windows
Have a great day,
Joe

I have an iPhone 4s. Ever since I updated to the 7.1 iOS, I am not able to find "Private Browsing" in safari. Does anyone know where they moved this function to?

I used to see the "Private" in the bottom left cornor of the Bookmarks function when I would go to select a bookmark or retrace my history in Safari. Now I cannot find it anymore. I also am not able to "Clear" my safari history unless I go through several steps, instead of being able to just hit the "Clear" on the bottom right hand corner in Bookmarks, which is still there, but I cannot select it. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi Angela,
I have an iPhone 4 with 7.1, but I'm seeing the same Private indicator for both the Reading List and the Web page list.
When you say you have to go through several steps to clear your History, are you talking about doing it via Settings>Safari? If not, then that would at least be a fairly quick way to do it.
Since Private is not showing for you on either the Reading list or the Web page list, try a reset on your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, go back into Safari and see if anything has changed.
In the mean time, I'm going to continue to look around to see if there is something that controls that (like enable "Private Browsing"....or something along those lines). I'll post back if I find anything....
Cheers,
GB

Permanent private browsing in safari 6

Is it possible to permanently leave private browsing on in safari 6 in os x mountaion lion. i ask beacuase i know you can leave it on permanently in ios 6 until you manually turn it off. where as in os x it turns off when you quit the app. is there a way of making it stay on until you desire to turn it off in os x

I too would like to know how to do this. I do not beleive it is possible the way that it is set up, but hopefully Apple can make the Private Bbrowsing feature stay on even after you close Safari just like t does in iOS 6/7. The only real work-around for this is lie CT says, don't quit Safari. The problem is that if you shutdown or restart it auto-turns off.

Why are Siri searches not private when private browsing in Safari?

When private browsing is enabled in Safari, searches done with Siri still show up in the "recent searches" menu of the search box.
Is this a bug? Or is there a way to prevent "Siri searches" from showing up in the recent searches list?
This does not happen when I type my search, but sometimes it's quicker to search for something with Siri.
