    Private Browsing: Select this command to check or uncheck the private browsing mode. If this menu item is checked, DEVONagent Pro clears all caches, history files, and the find pasteboard after quitting, so that anyone using this user account on this computer cannot later discover your search history. This option also prevents DEVONagent Pro from storing previous search terms in the Recent Searches sub-menu of the magnifying glass pop-up menu of search windows.
  • Icon
    Empty Cache: Empties the disk cache that is used to speed up browsing. Use this if you are running out of disk space or when you feel that pages or elements are not up-to-date. Emptying the cache effectively forces DEVONagent Pro to download from the Internet all files in their most recent versions.
