Incognito Mode: What It Does, What It Doesn't Do, And Why It Matters
ESET, Thursday, June 19th, 2025
Incognito mode is a useful tool but does not equal complete anonymity.
Incognito mode is a private browsing feature found in most modern web browsers. It prevents your browsing history, cookies, and site data from being stored on your device during a session. However, it's important to note that incognito mode does not make you anonymous online.
While it helps keep your activity private from others using the same device, your internet service provider (ISP), websites, and network administrators can still track your online activity.
