How to view a LinkedIn profile anonymously?

Question

I saw this ad this morning:

unlock-the-full-list-of-who-s-viewed-your-profile-with-linkedin-premium

Is there really no way to avoid the awkwardness?

This page describes a solution but the settings menu they are suggesting does not exist anymore.

You can browse anonymously with Firefox, Chrome or even IE9. This is not the easiest solution but at least, it's a workaround — JMax, Nov 6, 2012 at 10:21

Very similar to the link you provided:

Under your name (top right) select Settings
Under Privacy Controls select Select what others see when you've viewed their profile
Select You will be totally anonymous

Thanks! I notice a contradiction between "Unlock the full list" in the ad and "totally anonymous" in the privacy setting...

A link with no other context is not very helpful, even if it is a link to official documentation. We like answers to be self-contained.
