Today we’ll try to understand how to enable incognito mode in different browsers. This task is quite simple, but not everyone knows how to implement it. In fact, this will take only a few minutes. What generally allows you to do the mentioned mode? Why does it attract users so much?
Mode features
Thinking about how to enable the "incognito" mode, you need to fully understand what exactly the user wants to do.
Initially, after installing the Internet browser, the application settings are set to save the history, cookies and other information that the browser will work with. But you can hide the fact of using the utility by activating the incognito mode.
If a person uses this browser status, then:
- visit history is not saved;
- all new cookies are deleted after closing the browser;
- the history of autocomplete forms is not replenished;
- all profile settings are reset (but only when working with incognito);
- download history does not appear;
- general browser settings and bookmarks are saved.
In other words, a person simply does not leave traces of working with a browser. Sometimes this is exactly the situation that can come in handy. For example, if a user decided to use a computer in an Internet cafe.
Chrome and inclusion
The incognito mode in Chrome is easy to activate. However, as in any other browser. It is worth noting that the studied status of the browser is in all programs for accessing the Internet.
