What is Incognito Mode - How and Why to Use it (with Screenshots)

Leave a Comment
If you are Tired of Clearing your Browsing History or Don’t want your Browsing History to be recorded, then you should start using Incognito Mode (Private Browsing).


Symbol for Incognito Mode

Before we proceed, let me Explain Why we may need to use Incognito Mode:

1. You Don’t want your Browsing History to be Stored in the Browser History.

2. You don’t want the Other person to know about

- what you were browsing or the Websites that you have visited,

- or you didn’t have the Time to clear the Browsing History by the Time the Other Person arrived. (I know what’s going on in your mind but that is not the only Reason why we should use Incognito Mode).

3. Everybody has his or Her reason for using Incognito mode. Whatever may be the reason I will Explain How Incognito Mode Works.

Incognito Browsing also known as private browsing doesn’t store your browsing history. If you don’t want your Browser (Chrome or Mozilla) to save a record of what you have browsed, then remember a shortcut which comes handy everytime for me, and that shortcut is “Ctrl + Shift + N” if you are Using a Windows or Ubuntu OS, and if you are using a Macintosh (Mac) then the Shortcut is ⌘ + Shift + N to open an incognito window.
