This Month's
FAQ – What's The Story Behind The New Domain Names?
 Question: For years, most website addresses
ended in .com, .net, and .org. Lately, however, I've been seeing more
variety in domain names. Why is that? Answer: What you're describing is the expansion in the number of generic top-level domains, known as gTLDs. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) decided in 2012 that the 22 existing gTLDs — including .com, .net, and .org — weren't enough. So, ICANN decided to allow up to 1,400 new gTLDs. ICANN claimed, "These additional gTLDs will enhance competition, innovation and choice in the Domain Name space, providing a wider variety of organizations, communities and brand new ways to communicate with their audiences." As you've seen, new gTLDs such as .app, .sports, .club, and .healthcare have already started to launch. Many more of these domains are in the process of being brought to market; it's a long and complicated procedure that's designed to include protections for trademark holders and give average users a fair shake at getting the names they want.

Tutorial – How To Turn On Private Browsing On Your
Browser
Private, or incognito,
browsing is designed to keep your browsing history away from the eyes of
casual snoopers. In other words, someone who jumps on your computer won't
see where you've been online. Every major Web browser – Internet
Explorer, Chrome, Firefox,
Safari, and Opera – has
private browsing. When you turn this feature on, your browser won't record
your browsing history and will ignore ad-tracking cookies.
For instructions on how to turn on private browsing, click on the icon below for your browser.
