It means that pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: Websites that collect or share information about you Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys Surveillance by secret agents People standing behind you Ads |

Incognito mode allows you to browse without any cookies, temporary internet files, or browsing history saved in Google Chrome. Google promotes it as useful for those instances you want to plan a secret trip for your spouse or make a surprise purchase without them known. However, it has obvious less than moral actions it will cover for as well.
"For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, for example, to plan surprises like gifts or birthdays, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Here's how the incognito mode works: Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito aren't recorded in your browsing and download histories. All new cookies are deleted after you close all incognito windows that you've opened." However, though it doesn't save it in the browsing history, the web pages you've visited can be viewed on the Google Web Browsing History from your Personal Google Web Page. But that's a different topic. |
