Why use incognito mode?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Doesn't save browsing history
Hides location completely — Wrong. Incognito doesn't hide your IP or location—ISPs and websites still see you. It only prevents local history saving.
Doesn't save browsing history ✓ — Correct! Incognito/Private mode prevents the browser from: (1) Saving browsing history. (2) Storing cookies after session ends. (3) Remembering passwords/form data. Useful for shared computers or privacy. BUT: ISPs, websites, and network admins can still track you. Not anonymous—just doesn't save local traces. For true anonymity, use VPN or Tor!
Blocks all advertisements — Wrong. Incognito doesn't block ads—it prevents local history storage. Ad blockers are separate tools. Incognito stops browser from saving your activity.
