Is incognito mode actually private?

No, incognito mode is not fully private. It only prevents your browser from saving history, cookies, and form data on your device during that specific browsing session. Your internet provider, employer, or websites you visit can still track activity. Incognito mainly protects privacy from other users on the same device, not from the internet.

• Browsing history isn’t saved locally.
• Websites can still track activity.
• Internet providers remain visible.
