Is there a browser that doesn't have this option? I tried searching using Yahoo with no luck. If not, is there some way to delete the option or to block it?

Private Browsing

...This may be the weirdest question I've ever seen. Actually, no, that's probably just my mind running through all the possible reasons that someone would ask for this in the first place. Of course, the strangest ones stand out. Carry on.
Hi.
I tried to find a feature like that on Firefox, but for some reason I couldn't find a way.
I don't need to disable private browsing though
. Nor would I want to.
There's probably an apps for it for every browser, somewhere, I'd bet one of the parents in TB know about one.
OTOH, if it's for regulating and trying to restrict Your kids access to some internet material:
"Good luck with that pal."
You'll lose that battle unless you're some kind of a super nerd.

All I use is macs and safari. Yes you can delete private browsing. Look it up it's a file somewhere in the safari folder, you delete it and private browsing option is bye bye.

+1. Kids are really computer smart (I would know, I am one). There's Internet proxies all over the web, and every smart phone has Internet capabilities that have private browsing. And blocked key words are easily side-stepped.
But, if the kid isn't smart enough to erase the history after browsing (or use one of multiple other ways to keep parents away from their browsing history) then they probably won't know about the private browsing option.
Wait Internet Explorer has private browsing? I figured they wouldn't add that until Internet Explorer 15.
If whoever you're trying to spy on is smart enough to use InPrivate browsing then getting a browser withouth the feature or turning the feature off will be pointless...because that person is also smart enough to only use a browser with that feature for browsing that they want to keep private.
Turn it off, they'll just turn it back on then turn it off again when they're done.
