Abstract:
Systems and methods described herein are directed to a browser mode that provides a secure type of browsing window or a public type of browsing window. Within the secure type of browsing window, systems and methods may enforce all connections as being over Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Within the public type of browsing window, connections that require login, text entry, or HTTPS are prevented since session cookies and browsing activity from the public type of window may be eavesdropped by a third party. The browser provides separate cookie jars (which store the browser cookies) for the secure type window and the public type window.
