Incognito mode is a handy privacy feature, but it doesn’t give you total privacy against all prying eyes. Mostly, it helps you achieve some form anonymity especially when it also activates the ‘Do Not Track’ feature. When surfing the internet in this mode, the next person who uses the same browser won’t know what you were up to. This is because incognito mode deletes your browsing session. It also prevents the following;
Отсутствие отслеживания с помощью cookies
Cookies ensure you have a smooth browsing experience and they are convenient since they can keep you logged in for some time. However, other websites use cookies for malicious purposes; they can be used to track your browsing behavior. This information can then be used to profile you and then you might notice certain types of ads appear on every webpage you open. Incognito mode doesn’t allow your browser to store cookies and hence your browsing behavior won’t be tracked.

Режим инкогнито не защищает от различных онлайн-угроз, таких как вредоносное ПО. Вы также можете стать жертвой таких угроз, как фишинг и спуфинг. Надежный антивирус/вредоносное ПО и кибернетическая осведомленность помогут вам противостоять этим угрозам.
- Отсутствие "отпечатков пальцев" браузера
Incognito mode may help minimize browser fingerprinting, but still, your browser will give out fully or partially identifying information such as your system type, screen resolution, time zone, active plugins and other more information on your browser.
- Ваше местоположение будет конфиденциальным
Incognito mode doesn’t keep your location private as it does not hide your IP address. Geo-location services use your IP address to determine your location. The only way to keep your location private is by masking your IP address and replacing it with another one (e.g. by using a VPN).
