How Incognito Mode Protects your Privacy?
Let’s take a look at how Chrome Incognito mode can help you with your extensions.
What Incognito mode can do
Your browsing history or data is not saved on your device or in your Google account. If you buy something online, though, the site will retain track of your purchase.
When you close the incognito mode, Google clears all site data and cookies from that session, and websites, including Google, are unaware that you are using it.
However, if you use a Chrome extension, it may save your data.
What Incognito mode can’t do
If you sign in to a website, it cannot prevent that website from keeping your activity.
It also can’t prevent websites you visit, your school, workplace, or your Internet service provider from tracking your location and activities.
Websites might also provide you with advertising depending on your incognito browsing. However, after the session is closed, you will no longer view those ads.
