As I understand it, Private browsing is just to stop logging your 
online behaviour via the browser. Good practice on a public machine 
or in a shared machine environment in your home or to not make it 
easy for law enforcement. They would need to contact your ISP for that data.

Better on FF, use the various addons. They generally appear at the 
top of the most popular list.
