What is Incognito Mode?
Incognito mode, also known as private browsing, is a feature available in most web browsers that allows you to browse the internet without storing any of your browsing data on your device. This means that any websites you visit, files you download, and search terms you enter will not be saved to your browser’s history, cookies, or cache. Incognito mode is useful for a variety of reasons, such as protecting your privacy when using a public or shared computer or keeping your browsing activity hidden from others who may have access to your device.
Incognito mode does not make you completely anonymous on the internet, as your internet service provider and any websites you visit can still see your IP address and other information. However, it does provide a measure of privacy and can help prevent your browsing activity from being tracked. Today, all browsers provide an incognito mode. The concept is the same in each browser, although it is called differently and behaves differently in each browser.
