When you hear the phrase ‘incognito mode,’ do you think of the undercover detective image in the Chrome window?
Well, incognito mode, or private browsing isn’t just there to hide your browsing history.
It can be utilized for an added layer of protection against cyber-crime. You see, when you use a private browsing window, it doesn’t record the websites that you’ve visited (not on that machine, anyway). Cookies and other trackers are only used in that session – not saved.
Nor does it automatically remember your login details, save temporary files, or store cookies.
Private browsing also allows you to log into several accounts on the same app at the same time, which can be convenient for things like social media, email, or file sharing.
Did you know that administrators CAN still see employees’ activity in incognito? So, you don’t need to worry whether an employee is secretly spending too much time on Facebook.
