MICROSOFT'S minimalist new browser might have some serious trouble keeping secrets, according to a new report.

Microsoft Edge is not the most popular web browser.
But the Internet Explorer replacement might have a problem keeping your private browsing sessions private.
According to researcher Ashish Singh, websites visited in the browser's InPrivate mode can still be recovered from the computer's hard-drive.
Examining the WebCache file stored on the users' computer reveals every website they have visited – even those checked while in the privacy-focused InPrivate mode.

Any visited sites are stored in a "Container_n" table – even those you'd rather were kept secret, the Forensic Focus researcher has revealed.
"The functioning and backend of Project Spartan aka Edge Browser is no different from the Internet Explorer latest version," Mr Singh has claimed.
"The forensic examination of most web browsers has proven that they don’t have a provision for storing the details of privately browsed web sessions.
"Private browsing is provided for a purpose, i.e. privately browsing the web, which is being delivered. However, in the case of Microsoft Edge even the private browsing isn’t as private as it seems.
"Any skilled investigator can easily spot the difference and get concrete evidence against a person’s wrongdoings.
"Plenty of artefacts are maintained by the browser, which makes examination quite easy. However, there are stages where evidence is not so easy to find.
"The not-so-private browsing featured by Edge makes its very purpose seem to fail."
