It doesn’t matter if you use Google Chrome or Apple Safari. It comes up with all the internet surfing browsers. And people who love to keeps there tabs private for them this is the best feature. It helps you to browse the internet without being tracked. And all the tracks of your on the internet are not stored in the history.
How Incognito mode works
The simple way to understand how this privacy mode is working is that. Whenever you use the internet and visit websites or search for any quarries. These information stores in your browsing history. And sites also implant the cookies in your browser too, so when the next time you visit that site then this site knows that you come here before. So it doesn’t ask for any password if you create an account on that site and show the content according to your previous visit.
Then what does the incognito mode does, and the answer is it’s reverse of the above process. And now if you are visiting the different websites in the incognito tab. Then at that time, the browsing history, of yours is not stored in your browser. And also if a site implant a cookie in your browser. Then whenever you close the privacy mode it also erases.
But this does not mean that you are invisible there. Your IP address is still visible in the incognito mode and that’s why your ISP still knows what site you visit and for how much time.
