Incognito mode prevents you from saving your browsing history, but traces of your internet activity may still be visible. How is it possible?

Incognito mode keeps a record of your browsing sessions in the Domain Name System (DNS)! Going further and analyzing the DNS cache, it is possible to know your browsing history! Of course, this requires the right tools and skills. We recommend the guide prepared by Avast, „How to View and Delete Incognito History”. In addition, remember that even if you use incognito mode, you will still save downloaded files and bookmarks on your computer – they will not automatically disappear.

When is it worth using incognito mode, and when not?

Yes, when you do not want to show in the browsing or search history, e.g., when you use a foreign computer, or you want to hide a small secret – why only a small one;) Remember that you are not fully anonymous.

No, when we expect complete confidentiality. For this purpose, use a VPN to hide your IP address and encrypt all internet traffic.

Remember, the incognito mode does not prevent online tracking! Incognito mode does not mean you are anonymous!
