+# User Contexts # {#user-contexts}
+
+A <dfn interface>UserContext</dfn> is an aggregation of browsing contexts that separates the browsing contexts in one user context from browsing contexts in another user context.
+
+Note: User contexts are a WebDriver BiDi-specific equivalent to private browsing modes (https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/private-browsing-modes/).
+While we don't want to pose any restrictions on the implementations of private browsing modes, we want to allow to perform basic operations with private browsing
+contexts. A user context can be seen as a user agent in terms of the Infra spec but currently WebDriver BiDi spec is not compliant with that definition of the user agent.
