Incognito Mode

Incognito mode is a setting that prevents the users internet history from being stored. This is commonly misconstrued as a way to stay anonymous while using the internet. Incognito mode is available on several different internet browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge. Incognito mode does not protect data it just helps hide it from the internet history.

Although incognito mode does not protect data from being leaked, it does help when using sites that change the price of products based on the number of times the user returns to their website. For instance, when booking a flight a website will increase their prices for the flights if they know the user is returning to their site within the past few days. In addition to this incognito mode is great when using Amazon, because when using Amazon incognito mode prevents the site from having the similar items suggestions fallow you wherever you go.
