Is it possible set Private Browsing or Incognito as default, and log in to access history/stored logins?
I love private browsing and I always set up a private or incognito browser when I am letting others use my computer for a few minutes.
I think it would be fantastic if private browsing was enabled by default and a simple login was required to access stored login sessions, saved passwords, and history.
Is there a way to do this?

To setup private browsing by default, simply adjust your shortcut for the browser:
firefox.exe -private
chrome.exe --incognito
iexplorer.exe -private
For Safari it gets tricky, because you have to edit the plist file (and as far as I know, no way to do this on the fly and then have it reset).
The other common way to do this is to setup a default guest profile and adjust the shortcuts accordingly.
Some browsers provide profiles - and you can adjust the shortcut to load the profile that you want. For firefox, launch with -profilemanager to manage your profiles.

Since you're browsing on a computer, you can try DuckDuckGo. It is the default privacy mode, using the private search engine.
However, if you want to use mobile to browse, I recommend using Private Browser, which also has the default incognito mode and private search engine, but is lighter and simpler,no more than 5M.
Most importantly, it locks the bookmark and makes me feel secure.
Hope it helps.
