I actually pondered disabling it but in the end I didn't. It's not so much that we need to keep our staff from doing nefarious things but every now and then there's a situation you might just need to keep things under wraps -- which is why I didn't disable private browsing. IMHO this is way more about psychology and trust in the workplace than anything else.
