Which browser has no caching functionality?
Saving on RAM might be acceptable, but it shouldn't be stored as files. Those "visited websites" and search histories are indeed saved as files on your PC, right?
i don't know of one that comes out of the box doing what you want. but many have it in the options to never save the history or search results. you will have to go into the settings to turn on the feature.
but there is nothing i know about that just does it right away. firefox let's you disable such things and will even let you delete everything everytime the browser is closed. so not just history but cookies and lots of other data as well.
you can do what you want but will have to take the moment to go into the settings and check some boxes
Would it make sense to employ a developer who enforces permanent restrictions? If it relies on Chrominum, everything remains largely identical to Chrome, with only the custom enhancements introduced by the programmer.
We're still figuring out the history behind this.
Most modern browsers will erase everything when you close them.
A Linux Live USB goes further, avoiding any interaction with storage devices.
But what are we really aiming to safeguard against?
What is our actual threat scenario?
Prevent unauthorized access.
A bit about the goal and the reason behind seeking help would really assist in finding a suitable answer. It looks like we might have already addressed this, so it’s possible we’re missing the right details. Could you share a story or context to clarify what’s needed?
Just adding to what's already been said. It's more or less like what USAFRet said above.
There's a standalone portable OS that lives in a flash USB and stores nothing and next session is just the OS like fist installation is called Tails. It can be used on any PC. You can find it

My history is straightforward and typical. I could possibly let someone else use my PC, or share my screen via screensharing during a Zoom call. Adjusting the settings of popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox has been something I’ve done occasionally, but I’m not sticking with it because it doesn’t seem to stick. I might be puzzled since these preferences often reset after updates, or when I reinstall the software, or if I get a new computer, I forget to tweak them. Therefore, I think it would be better if there was a browser with ideal default settings. The LinuxUSB approach is something I’m considering trying on my Windows machine. I’m hoping to make the most of its capabilities.
Sharing the PC with another person involves using distinct accounts. Activities in your Chrome browser remain isolated from others' instances. I also utilize several VirtualMachines, supporting both Linux and Windows environments. For tasks that must not impact the main system, I perform them within one of these VMs. I use VirtualBox for this purpose. The guest operating system functions as a separate second machine.
So the live Linux disk or a virtual machine are likely the optimal options. You can even apply BitLocker to secure the virtual hard disk created with the VM if you're using the professional version of Windows. It's essentially a complete operating system, allowing you to use Zoom and browsers, creating a completely new machine tailored for your needs. Don't have Pro? No problem—download it as an ISO through the media creation tool and run it unactivated within the VM. This way, settings won't affect you, and you'll remain the sole user.
