What action is typically taken by browsers when private browsing is enabled?

When private browsing is enabled in a web browser, a key action taken by the browser is to delete stored history upon exit. This functionality is designed to ensure that any web activity conducted during the private browsing session does not get recorded in the browser's history.

In typical usage, once the private browsing session is closed, any websites visited or data entered in forms are not saved. This feature is intended to offer a level of privacy and confidentiality, making it harder for others to access your browsing information on that device after the session has ended.

Other aspects of private browsing may vary by browser, but the core principle is privacy, and the automatic deletion of history plays a crucial role in that.
