The Oculus Quest 2 headset usually comes with the Oculus Browser, which allows you to browse the internet privately without leaving a record of your prior activities. Private Mode in Oculus Browser, like private browsing in a desktop web browser like Google Chrome, isn’t a way to hide your browsing history from your ISP, workplace, school, or websites you visit.
Instead, it will prevent other Oculus Quest 2 headset users from seeing your browser activity while you were in Private Mode. Oculus Browser will delete your browsing history, cookies, site data, and temporary files created during the session when you exit Private Mode.
It’s also worth noting that even if you’re surfing privately on the headset, any bookmarks you save and stuffs you download will be available to other Quest users. So, if you want to be as private as possible, don’t bookmark or download anything sensitive.
In this guide, we will be having a look at how to use private browsing on Oculus Quest 2. With that in mind, let’s get started.
