Incognito Mode prevents your browser from saving your browsing history, cookies, site data, or form inputs, giving you privacy from other users on your device. It’s great for checking sensitive info on shared computers or planning surprises.

But it doesn’t hide your activity from your ISP, employer, or websites—they can still track you in real time. Incognito isn’t anonymous browsing; it’s local privacy only.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ What Incognito Mode actually does and doesn’t do

✅ When and why to use it (like logging into multiple accounts or troubleshooting)

✅ Why it’s useful but not a cloak of invisibility

If you want to browse privately on your device without leaving traces, this episode is for you.
