When people think about online privacy, the first thing that comes to mind is incognito mode in Chrome and other browsers. Many people think that this is enough to prevent sites from tracking them, but this is not the case. In this mode, the browser does not record browsing history and deletes cookies, but the provider can still monitor the user's activity. Also, the mode does not hide the IP address and other data.
However, times are changing and Google is finally in the mode of some data protection features that keep personal information private. They are in recently build of Chrome 74. If previously sites could see that the user is logging in incognito mode, now this feature has been closed.
This feature was previously in a test build of Canary, and recently migrated to the release. To run it, you need to go to the flags section chrome: // flags, find the "Filesystem API in Incognito" flag using the search and activate it. After restarting the browser, incognito mode will work in full force.
True, to improve the "disguise" you must first log out of all social networks, since Facebook and others are very fond of following users. In addition, this mode does not allow you to bypass locks - there are Tor and extensions like FriGate for this.
Recall again - this mode is not absolutely secure, since it does not use third-party proxies, anonymizers, and so on. Therefore, you should not think that the "incognito" mode is able to really disguise the user from hackers and cyber fraudsters.
