When you ask others this question, you can test it several times on different websites so that you can experience the actual results for yourself. I believe if a friend has done this before, he will definitely answer you. But my advice to you is that while you are waiting for others to answer, you might as well do it yourself to test.
Second, I want to know why you need to use incognito mode. If your operation steps are not perfect, the anti-detection system can also detect you.
Third, if you just want to see what is the difference between normal mode and incognito mode, then you can try the effect, and then share your experience in the forum.
Work in the "Incognito" mode
Sometimes it becomes necessary to work in such a way that information about the sites you visited and downloaded files is not saved on your PC. In this case, you can select incognito mode in Google Chrome.
In Internet Explorer and Edge browsers, this mode is called InPrivate. In Safari, respectively, Private Browsing. A similar mode exists in Firefox as well.
In general, this mode is designed to hide the traces of your web surfing.
In this article, we will look at the browsers Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome.
Incognito Mode FAQ
When navigating the Internet, it is impossible not to leave specific digital traces. From the point of view of most users, tracking their web surfing is hardly welcome.
What is private (private) mode?
Incognito mode - also known as private (private) mode - is a browser mode that allows the user to protect himself to some extent from other users of the same device or account. In this mode, the browser does not store your web surfing history, cookies, download history or login credentials.
As you know, browsers normally store everything that you did online: what pages you visited, what videos you watched, what purchases you made, and so on. And in order to destroy the relevant information, you need to forcefully clear the browser history on exit. A lot of people don't.
In Incognito mode, browsers automatically delete such information when the corresponding window is closed.
Naturally, you can switch between Incognito windows and regular viewports. You will only be in Incognito mode when you use the appropriate window.
When is it recommended to use private mode?
In fact, the answer is obvious. You should use private mode if you want to keep your Internet activities secret from other people using the same computer. Well, you never know what secrets you have from your spouse or from your children.
What's more convenient to forget when using private mode?
Login credentials and other information from fillable forms.
In this mode, the browser does not store login credentials (login / password). Thus, you can use someone else's computer to log into a social network or to view your own e-mail.
Download history. When downloading files, they will not be marked in the browser's download history. However, the files themselves will be publicly available unless you delete them. So be careful!
Why is incognito mode not suitable?
Well, firstly, this mode will not be available if you have enabled parental control mode. So your kids won't be able to hide anything from you.
Second, remember that private mode does not make your browsing anonymous. Local traces will be removed, but your IP address and other information can be traced.
Who can see your online transactions:
InPrivate Mode in Internet Explorer
Beginning with Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft introduced a new feature called InPrivate Mode, which actually includes two modes: InPrivate Filtering Mode and InPrivate Browsing Mode. Both modes relate to privacy technology, limiting the amount of information available in a user session. InPrivate mode allows you to browse websites, but it does not save your browsing history when you finish browsing, and InPrivate Filtering restricts information shared with third-party providers. In fact, information is blocked with the help of which you can be tracked.
You can enable this mode by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P or Settings-Security-InPrivate Browsing.
It is especially convenient to use this mode on public PCs. After all, people often forget that when using a public PC, there is a possibility of memorizing their username and password on it. This problem can be avoided by using InPrivate mode. At the same time, the following are not saved:
InPrivate mode in Microsoft Edge
Naturally, during the development of Microsoft Edge, InPrivate mode was announced in the new browser from Microsoft.
You can enable it by Setting-New InPrivate Window.
However, it is worth noting that a year ago in his article "Stop using Microsoft Edge's InPrivate mode if you value your privacy" Mark Wilson warned about the dangers of using InPrivate mode in the Microsoft Edge browser.
Paradoxically, Edge actually records your InPrivate browsing history. Moreover, examining the WebCache file is a relatively simple task to recover the complete browsing history. And regardless of whether you were working in InPrivate mode or in regular web surfing mode. This discovery was made by the expert in the field of information security Brent Muir.
At the Forensic Focus conference, researcher Ashish Singh warned that forensic analysis of most web browsers has proven that they have no provision for storing detailed data of privately viewed web sessions.
However, in the case of Microsoft Edge, even InPrivate browsing is not as private as we are led to believe. Research has shown that URLs for InPrivate websites are also stored in the Usersuser_nameAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsWebCache.
The Container_n table stores web history. A field called Flag will be available for viewing. Websites visited in InPrivate mode will have a Flag of 8.
Consequently, any qualified specialist (investigator) can easily obtain specific evidence. Quite a few artifacts are stored by the browser, which makes researching it pretty straightforward.
Incognito Mode
One of the modes of the Google Chrome browser is Incognito mode. This mode is recommended if you do not want Google Chrome to save information about the sites you visited and downloaded files.
How incognito mode works
When you turn on incognito mode, a new window opens. The websites you browse in it are not saved in history. You can open windows in normal mode and incognito at the same time, as well as switch between them. In this case, the data will not be saved only for windows in incognito mode.
Who can access the incognito session information
The Chrome browser does not store information about the websites you visit in incognito mode. However, it may be available:
Downloaded files are saved to your computer
Files downloaded in incognito mode will not be included in the browser's download list, but they will be saved in the Downloads folder on your computer and will remain there even after you close the incognito mode tabs. There they can be viewed by any computer user.
However, is this mode really so safe?
It is worth considering that Google can track your activity and your searches when using Incognito mode, especially if you are signed in to one of the services (for example, Gmail or YouTube).
If you haven't disabled or suspended Google Web History in your account, then you can log in and track your activity there.
It's worth noting that some websites are able to track your movements across the web - even when you're in private mode - thanks to a technology called Super Cookie.
The difference with Super Cookies is that they can track users even in private.
Why incognito mode in your browser is useless
If you want to ensure anonymity on the Internet, it is better to look for other options.
You've probably used incognito mode, for example, to simultaneously log into several email accounts or view photos of cats at your workplace. Now that search and ad bots are vigilantly watching your online activities, incognito mode seems like a tempting option. But it doesn't really provide privacy.
How incognito mode differs from normal mode
In incognito mode:
As you can see, the list is long. But incognito mode only protects a small portion of your data. Google and Mozilla honestly warn about this in their browsers. Chrome users are notified when they start incognito mode.
When you open a tab in incognito mode, you see a corresponding warning. We are trying to convey that your activities, even in private mode, are still visible on the sites you visit, and may be visible to your employer, your educational institution and, of course, your Internet service provider.
VP of Chrome Development
Firefox also displays a disclaimer.
Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet. Your ISP, employer, or the sites themselves can track which pages you visit. Also, the private browsing mode does not protect you from keyloggers or spyware that may be installed on your computer.
Mozilla Support
By the way, browsers from Apple and Microsoft don't bother to warn their users about these restrictions.
How users perceive incognito mode
Despite the disclaimers from Chrome and Firefox, a huge number of users still harbor illusions about their privacy.
Researchers at the University of Chicago and Leibniz University of Hanover conducted a surveyYour Secrets Are Safe: How Browsers Explanations Impact.
Misconceptions About Private Browsing Mode users of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera and Brave browsers. According to the survey results:
Similar research A Study on Private Browsing: Consumer Usage, Knowledge, and Thoughts in 2017 conducted by the search company DuckDuckGo:
Why incognito mode is insecure
First, even if Incognito Mode does not record the sites you visit in your browser history, this data can be tracked using your IP address. Thus, your Internet service provider, your local network administrator at work, the owner of a Wi-Fi point in a cafe, and in general anyone who can track your IP address can find out which sites you visit .
Secondly, if you log into your account on Google, Facebook, Twitter or something else, your activity, including searches and pages viewed on these sites, will also be recorded. It's obvious, but not for everyone, as DuckDuckGo polls show.
In addition, if you enter your credentials into any Chrome web application, the browser will start recording your cookies again.
How browser identification works
There is an identification technique that Google actively uses. Search engines create a so-called "browser fingerprint". Even if you do not use accounts and cookies, sites can still identify your browser using information such as:
What ensures true privacy
By and large, all these ad-targeting tricks by search engines don't really bother users. However, in some cases, getting rid of such intrusive attention can be helpful.
For example, you intend to purchase a gift for your spouse and are looking incognito for suitable options in online stores. After a while, the spouse launches the browser as usual and sees a bunch of advertisements with offers to buy smartphones and jewelry. This is annoying and can ruin the surprise.
There are several ways to avoid this.
VPN
VPN hides your IP address and replaces it with the IP address of the remote VPN server. This makes it more difficult for ad platforms to associate your IP address with your browser.
Tor
It is an anonymous network that passes your traffic through several random hosts before connecting you to the destination server. You can surf through Tor at least occasionally, because its speed is not very impressive. But the measures aimed at privacy are at their best in this browser.
Ghostery
There are several extensions that make it difficult for ad platforms to identify browsers. One of the best is Ghostery. It blocks most of the tracking trackers on the pages, without affecting the surfing speed in any way.
Output:
Carding in the "Incognito" browser mode is quite possible, but highly undesirable, since the anti-fraud system will limit that you are trying to make a payment by card, bank account or an account in a paid system using the "Incognito" mode and your payment may be rejected.
Although this mode is quite acceptable by many anti-fraud systems and simply adds a few risk points to your order, your order can be attributed to manual processing and will be processed by a specialist on an individual basis.

I prefer incognito mode for anything illegal am doing. Because I don't want to save browsing history on my device, It will likely help if FBI tracks me down.
