Private browsing mode clears your search history, websites you visit, cookies, and form data (such as autofill suggestions). If someone sits at the same computer after you, he or she cannot see your activity.

It’s called Incognito mode in Chrome and InPrivate in Microsoft Edge. Both Apple and Firefox call this Private Browsing.
