Incognito mode and Private Browsing<\/strong><\/p>\n Nearly all browsers offer the option to browse the internet privately. These options are called private or incognito mode. Commonly, developers build a nice UI around it showing a guy with a hat and stick-on mustache like the one shown below. The big misconceptions here is that turning on incognito mode is beneficial to your online privacy. <\/p>\n The purpose of incognito is to leave no trace on your computer. This was helpful at the time we still had one computer per household, and the following user would see what searches one entered. Nowadays, everyone has his personal device, so the threat of leaving an embarrassing search history or open tabs is not that important anymore. Since all the removed data are local data, this doesn’t change anything when it comes to the data we share online. (There are possibilities for websites to look at your history, more info here.)<\/p>\n
