Private browsing
If you do not want your browser to remember your activity, you can browse the web privately in incognito mode.
On a computer
Open the browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
At the top right, there is a menu that offers you several options.
One is to open a private browsing window, an incognito browsing window, or a private window. Each browser uses its own nomenclature.
Click on this option.
Private browsing windows can also be opened with shortcut keys, which vary for each browser.
You can browse, simultaneously, in private and in normal windows.
Private browsing windows are displayed separately from normal windows.
Close incognito mode to stop browsing privately.
When you browse privately, the browser does not save your browsing history, cookies, website data, or the information you enter on forms.
The files you download and the bookmarks you create will be kept.
If you are browsing with Safari, the private browsing option is within the Safari or File options in the horizontal menu at the top. You can also configure your browser to always browse privately.
On a phone
In Safari, you can access private browsing by clicking on the new Safari window icon. You are shown a menu of options, including private browsing.
In some native Android browsers, the private browsing option is within the user profile icon.
In general, in most browsers, the private browsing option is also in the menu that opens when you click on the icon at the top right of the browser.
