Incognito mode in the Google Chrome browser

Hello, dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. Sometimes it is necessary to access the Internet in such a way as not to leave any traces of yourself. Clearing the history then takes quite a long time, and unwanted links may appear on the main screen at the most inopportune moment. How to protect yourself from this scourge?

Today I will tell you how to log in incognito in Chrome from a computer or phone. It must be said that this mode is specific, and therefore I will have to talk about its features in at least a few words. Let's start with them.

Features of invisible

Look, there are programs that allow you to become invisible to everyone, they are called and I have already written about them. Their job is to change your IP address and give you a new place of residence. This is not how incognito mode works in the browser.

“Invisibility” gives you the opportunity to hide information about visiting an Internet resource from your household, even if they are not standing behind your back.

The webmasters who created the project will see who you are, where you are from, what browser you came from and how much time you spent on their site, if they installed special programs for tracking the type in advance. I won’t lie, it is connected to 99.9% of the resources on the Internet.

Your Internet provider will also be able to easily bypass the obstacles you have created on the way to understanding the truth of what you were viewing on the Internet. Well, the system administrator is at work, if he has access to your computer.

Despite all these nuances, incognito mode is very popular and for this reason: thanks to it, information about the sites you visited, cookies and site data does not remain in the history.

In general, if your wife actively monitors what you do online, and you don’t particularly want her to find out that you visited your ex’s VKontakte page, then this function will definitely come in handy. I might also suggest you read it if you use it sometimes.
