In the digital world it is no longer impossible not to leave a footprint on the website. Nowadays, people pay more attention to privacy. The importance of increasing privacy of personal data has become one of the areas that everyone is paying attention to. It is necessary to pay more attention to privacy in all areas that can be browsed on the Internet.
Incognito tab, or incognito mode, provides user privacy on the computer that more than one person is using. When the browser is in incognito mode, your search history, cookies, download history and login information obtained from your internet browsing are not saved. When using incognito mode, you block consent management, i.e. consent management related to cookies.
When you use the normal browser, your footprint is recorded in every field you enter. Information such as what titles you searched for, which sites you entered, what products you looked at are all recorded in your browser history. None of these can be saved when in incognito mode. You can surf the Internet in incognito mode from another tab, even if your regular browser is open. Thanks to the use of the browser in incognito mode, you can prevent your important data from being saved and prevent them from being stolen.
There are many reasons to use incognito mode. For example, you collect information for a scientific study. You don't want anyone to know what the information you collect is. In this case, you can easily use incognito mode. Another reason is that you are annoyed that someone is tampering with your personal computer. To protect yourself from people who constantly ask or tamper with what you are looking for, you can make your calls in incognito mode.
4 reasons to use incognito mode
1. Download history: You can download whatever you want while in stealth mode. What you have downloaded while in this mode can never be displayed in your download history. Don't forget to hide the downloaded files on the downloaded part of your computer as well.
2. Login and form information: do you want no one to know your social media passwords? Then you should definitely use incognito mode. When you turn on incognito mode, all your login information, such as your social media passwords, is not saved. When you open your personal account from the private tab for an emergency from someone else's computer, your name and password will not be visible when you enter it again. That is, then the owner of the computer will not be able to enter your account and confuse it.
3. Multi-account: You can open multiple accounts from the hidden tab.
4. Browser add-ons: Plugins are blocked when in incognito mode. For example, you entered a shopping site and a link came up with a link to an advertisement for another site. This link will not appear in the hidden tab. If you want it to appear, you can change your settings by going to the add-ons section of your browser's menu.
The biggest point to pay attention to in this mode is that it does not make you invisible or unfollowed. Your local cookies are not saved but can be tracked via your IP address. Certain people can track your actions. For example, internet providers, your employer if you use a work computer, and some websites you visit may track your browsing.
Chrome hidden tab is a feature that is available to users, like any browser. According to a 2020 survey by NetMarketShare, Google Chrome was named the most used browser in the world with 67.5%. In Chrome incognito mode, your data is not saved. It allows you to browse anything you want discreetly. No information is stored, such as what you download, watch, products you look at, and bookmarks.
The steps to turn on incognito mode on your computer are as follows:
If you want to access the hidden tab from the chrome browser on phones with Android or iOS processors, the actions you will do are the same.
The hidden tab can be easily removed without any changes in the settings. The hidden tab, which opens in different ways in different browsers, is closed by the same methods when deactivating or closing. After opening the hidden window from the upper right corner, you will see all the tabs that open in front of you. Here you can close all hidden tabs again by clicking on the “x” sign located in the upper right corner.
Incognito mode is a kind of “protected area” mode. In this mode, your browser also processes cookies from your computer and navigation. What matters here is the difference between the browser you use in normal mode and the browser you use in incognito mode.
If we list these differences:
The incognito mode tab is actually a copy of your browser that does not save cookies. Incognito mode is the mode that ignores all cookies, which are deleted when you close the browser and ignore long-lasting cookies from any website and store only single session cookies.
Confidential mode is of great importance in terms of consent. Usually the hidden tab helps mask users, but it cannot prevent you from being monitored completely. Websites now need to pay a lot of attention to cookie management. How long can stealth mode be used? In addition, when using incognito mode, it is impossible to get in the way of those who follow your online browsing. That is, even if we use incognito mode constantly, there is a possibility that our data and cookies will be stolen.
It has become imperative to use a consent management system to prevent increasing data breaches. If you want to ensure the safety of your users and prevent data breaches, contact us! [email protected]
