Session privacy

Hello,
Does my browser session (history, cookies, etc) get destroyed after I end it? Sometimes I see foreign non-default websites in a browser history.
Regards,
Kirill

Hi Kirill,
Yes, your session gets destroyed and we clean up as much as possible. I wrote a blog post about the cleanup process on my blog:
http://www.catonmat.net/blog/clear-privacy-ie-firefox-opera-chrome-safari/
We've a bunch of scripts that run after each session and clean as much as possible.
We're currently moving to better solution and a new architecture where each customer gets their own VM. It wasn't possible earlier because it took 5-15 minutes for Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud to start a new Windows instance, so we reused instances and cleaned them up. In the new architecture it takes just 3 seconds to start a new, clean Windows and we can give everyone their own instance.
Sincerely,
