Turn on Private Mode on Android

Most browsers have a special Private Browsing mode designed to prevent your browser from doing a couple of things that no one loves in the first place. A private Browsing is ideal when people use social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter on someone else’s Android device to avoid profile hacks by not allowing passwords or entries from being saved.

Even more, this prevent history from being saved, it stops all autofilling forms and search fields, it blocks cookies, as well as any third-party tracking elements on web pages you visit at a certain point.
