Incognito


Have you heard about Incognito? If not, this blog post is meant for you to read, and you might consider to try this one.

Are you tired of deleting your browser's history?  Have you clicked  a website unintentionally and had regret of doing so, and wish to delete it but already appeared to your computer's cache or temporary folder?  Yes, it can be erased by you with some steps, but it takes time, and there's another way to deal with that. Introducing Incognito, a free solution. 







Just recently, I found out how this work, and  I don't have  trouble anymore deleting files in  my browser's history that I really think add working load to my computer. So far, there's minimal problem  in my laptop in loading and I like using Incognito.

However, this is only applicable for those who are using  Google Chrome. Incognito is easy to use when you are using Google Chrome. 


Actually, when you open Chrome and follow the steps to open this another mode, information about Incognito will appear to the new tab of the window. 

How to use Incognito? There are two steps in doing that.

When you open Google Chrome, you will see the three horizontal bars in the upper right side of your window. Click to open it. Open New Incognito Window. There you have it, the new Incognito mode window will appear instantly.

Another option is ofcourse using your keyboard. Just press Ctrl + Shift + N, and then the new Incognito mode will appear instantly.

How will you know that you're browsing using Incognito?

Have you seen the color of the window's border? The blue color border is darker than the normal window of the Google Chrome, however, the most noticeable feature of the window is the detective icon on the uppermost left portion of the window. Yeah, right! It's like he's telling you that he'll keep your secrets. (LOL) I think he's actually Incognito, the secret detective. (LOL)

There are, however, some disadvantages in using Incognito, that will be known to you as user if you read the text of the tab upon opening the window. 

When you open the Incognito mode,  you will see this text.

You've gone incognito. Pages you view in incognito tabs won't stick around in your browser's history, cookie store, or search history after you've closed all of your incognito tabs. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept. 

However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, governments and other sophisticated attackers, or the websites you visit. 


It is also useful  reading the text above that is found in tab upon opening the window mode because of some consequences, but I believe that when you already have idea of using Incognito, it will guide you on what to search using this. 

You may try it if you like.
