There’s one particular reason to use this browsing mode: when you wish to keep your browsing separate from other people using the same computer and user account. Incognito mode differs from browser to browser, which you have to keep in mind. Sometimes browsing in incognito also blocks more trackers, but it’s not always the case. Incognito Mode differs from normal browsing because it automatically erases all this browsing data when you close the browser window (you can still clear the cache manually if you’re using the normal browsing mode). This behavior is not secret, and it’s very useful as you can begin typing an address you’ve already visited and the browser will autocomplete the URL for you, or it will keep you logged in, so you don’t have to input your username and password every time. This data is saved on your local computer, can be easily erased by the user, and sometimes older data is automatically deleted by the browser itself. Unfortunately, this is only partially true.īy default, a browser keeps a record of what sites you visit, what you did while on a particular website (via cookies). This leads people to believe they can privately browse the Internet in Incognito Mode. The meaning of the word incognito is pretty clear, it means to conceal your true identity.
