Incognito mode allows you to browse websites in such a way that your browsing history and cookies are not stored on your device or computer. In this mode, the browser does not record which sites you visit or which files you download - when the user exits the Incognito mode, the browsing history, the list of downloaded files and cookies are deleted from the computer disk or from the memory of the mobile device. This mode can be activated in Google Chrome on your computer, Android device, and iOS device.

  3. 3 From the menu, click on "New Incognito Window". A new incognito window will open. In this mode, the tab bar is darker and displays a stylized spy icon in the upper left corner of the screen. On the first tab of the new window, the message "You have entered incognito mode" will be displayed.
