What is Incognito Mode?
Incognito Mode is a feature in Google Chrome that allows you to browse the web in a private, incognito browsing window. When you browse in Incognito Mode, your browsing history and cookies are not saved. This means that your browsing history and cookies cannot be used to track you or to target you with ads.
To open an Incognito browsing window, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of your Chrome window and select “New Incognito Window.” You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N to open an Incognito browsing window.
When you are finished browsing in Incognito Mode, simply close the Incognito window. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved.
How to Use Incognito Mode?
To access Incognito Mode, open the Chrome menu and click New Incognito Window. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N.
When you’re browsing in Incognito Mode, Chrome won’t save your browsing history, cookies, site data, or information you enter into forms. However, any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept.
If you close all of your Incognito tabs, your Incognito session will end and all of your private browsing data will be erased.
Advantages of Using Incognito Mode
When you browse the web in incognito mode, your browser doesn’t save your browsing history, cookies, site data, or information entered in forms. This allows you to browse the web privately, and prevents your browsing data from being used to customize your experience on other sites (such as targeted ads). In addition, incognito mode can be useful if you’re worried about someone else having access to your computer and seeing your browsing history.

If you’re like most people, you probably use Google Chrome as your primary web browser. And if you’re like most people, you probably also use Incognito Mode when you want to browse the web without leaving a trace.

1. Open the Start menu and type “Chrome” into the search bar.
2. Right-click on the “Google Chrome” shortcut and select “Properties.”
3. In the “Target” field, add the following text at the end: –incognito.
For example, the “Target” field should now look something like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –incognito.
4. Click “OK” to save the changes.
Now, every time you double-click on your Incognito Mode shortcut, Chrome will open directly in Incognito Mode.
