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;
无 cookie 跟踪
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.
一言以蔽之，这就是隐身模式的全部功能，而就隐私而言，隐身并不是真正的隐私。

In Incognito mode, you are only private locally (in your browser). Your ISP and other prying eyes such as cybercriminals will still see what you have been doing online. They rely on your internet traffic which is sent via your IP address.

隐身模式无法保护你免受恶意软件等各种网络威胁。您还可能成为网络钓鱼和欺骗等威胁的受害者。可靠的杀毒软件/恶意软件和网络意识将帮助你抵御这些网络威胁。
- 无浏览器指纹
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.
- 您的位置将是保密的
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).
