The Incognito Mode or Private Mode of browsers is one of the best features that these applications have kept for some time, and although almost all of them allow us to navigate in this way, on this special occasion we want to show you how to activate this function in the most famous browser in the world, Google Chrome.
The first thing you have to know is that this private browsing format is there so that others cannot know what you are doing while browsing. Yes, under normal conditions, you will be providing a huge amount of information. For example, you leave traces about the sites you visit, the websites you log in to, and the movements you make, even money.
Although much of this data is useful to improve the user’s browser experience, sometimes we simply do not want anyone to have access to it, and that is when we recommend activating Incognito Mode or Private Mode.
By browsing in Incognito Mode, you make sure that your browsing history information, the data you enter in the different forms, nor cookies or other types of details is not recorded.
