Modern browsers (those programs with which we visit various Internet sites) take care of the comfort of their users. The fact is that today they are all “tied” to any search engine, and are being developed by the efforts of employees of these companies. This is very beneficial for search engines - they collect various information about users that they use to their advantage: they offer us the most relevant advertisements, tailor the search results to a specific person, and personalize the information. Do not forget about the geo-differences - a resident of a particular area is unlikely to be interested in any offers of goods and services from another region. But if you know how to enable incognito mode in Yandex or another browser, all these bindings will actually be disabled. Below we will talk about why this may be required.
Storing information in a browser
In addition to personification, programs for Internet surfing collect and store almost every user action. Some data is stored in the form of cookies (it can be your passwords, logins - they often don’t even encrypt them), absolutely all transitions are recorded in the "History" section. Suppose you need to visit a specific site from someone else's computer on which your private data can be stored. What is the best thing to do in such a situation? Someone will simply open a new tab, type in the desired address, do everything necessary and close the window. You can really do this, but only when you completely trust the owner of the computer and do not hide anything from him. But what if you have to act in some kind of public place - for example, in an Internet cafe or in a university auditorium? In such a situation, it is useful to know how to enable incognito mode in Yandex or another browser, because security is above all.
Incognito in the Yandex browser
First, let's talk about how to enable incognito mode. In Yandex, this is done as follows: we look at the upper right corner of your browser, we find there (just below the buttons with which the window closes, minimizes or maximizes the entire screen) image of the gear. We click on it and in the drop-down list we look for the line “New window in incognito mode”.
In google chrome
And how to enable incognito mode in Chrome, if Yandex.Browser is not at hand? Similarly, however, the button may have a different look, but it is located in the same place. In the settings, select the desired item (it is usually on top, so it is immediately noticeable), after that a completely new browser sheet will open (not the next tab), in which there will be a note that the work is in incognito mode. That is, there is nothing complicated - but now all your transitions will no longer be saved in the "History", and all cookies will be deleted immediately after you close this window. Of course, you can erase such “traces” manually, but this is not very convenient, especially if you do not have enough experience. It is necessary not only to clear the history of transitions, but also to delete cookies - for this you have to delve into the settings for a long time, you may simply not find time for such solutions.
Additional security measures
Now you know how to enable incognito mode in Yandex, Google and other browsers - this is done according to a similar principle. But even working in windows where privacy is activated does not provide complete protection - it is important to remember this. If you do not access social networks from a home computer, be sure to check the box that you are using someone else’s device (as a rule, all large resources provide such an opportunity). When you finish work, be sure to close the window through which you browsed the site, first remembering to click the "Logout" button to end the user session. These simple recommendations will protect your private data from prying eyes.
