Does the Incognito mode makes you anonymous ?

You’ve decided to utilise your browser’s incognito or private mode because you’re worried about your digital privacy.If you realize the limitations of using an incognito tab, it can be a useful tool.

“Incognito mode can be deceptive, and it doesn’t mean that nobody can learn anything at all about your browsing habits just since you have an incognito tab open,” said Thomas Germaine, a digital privacy expert at Consumer Reports.

Incognito mode will conceal your online history from other users of your computer and do a lot of different tasks, but this will not make you anonymous.

Yes for sure it will destroy cookies when you shut that browser window, but there are other kinds of information that companies can collect, which is significant. Just opening an incognito window will not be enough to keep your privacy protected if you’re doing something particularly sensitive. Remember, your identity, location, or internet activity would not be hidden from your internet service provider or the websites you visit when you are using the Incognito window.
