How do I turn on Private Browsing?

With Private Browsing, you can surf the web privately and only view the sites you choose to see.

Private Browsing prevents websites from saving your browsing information. It does not track your activity or keep records of your preferences. Private Browsing may also improve your experience when you are surfing with multiple windows or tabs.

To use Private Browsing: On the Chrome menu, click More tools. On the bottom of the menu, click Private Browsing. In the Private Browsing window, click Always. Use Private Browsing with: To ensure your browsing data is saved, use a secure connection. When in a secure connection, your data is encrypted, so no one else can access it.

When in a secure connection, your information isn't stored in your browser's history or in cookies. You can click Continue if you aren't sure whether you are in a secure connection. With Secure Browsing, websites are still able to track you when you visit. They just can't store your data or use it to track your visits. In addition, Secure Browsing is a way for you to find out if a website you want to visit is safe.

Note: If you are using a mobile device, you might not have access to the Always setting. In that case, click on the name of the website you want to browse, then tap More tools. From the list of available tools, tap Always.

How Chrome Incognito keeps your browsing private?

As I understand from the beginning to the end of the article, the author is going back and forth between user agents who receive more information and get better results; when referring to user-agent 0.

1, he refers to it as having access to all our visited URLs, while later on it's what page you were on. He uses phrases like the first party user agent, the second party user agent and in theory should better at tracking. Does this mean that in Chrome Incognito's list of visited websites, the first party list includes not only the URLs of the websites you go to, but also the pages you are on? Or at least, do they contain that information?

I assume that Incognito will store URLs (for example if you are trying to go back to a specific page), but I wouldn't think it would save any site data since you have no cookies, therefore no third party cookies but I might be wrong! As mentioned by @HermanBruine, it's probably just a bug due to incorrect usage of the term party. Thanks for the clarification. So it sounds like Incognito might not include the contents of every website page visited - it's just the URLs? Is it possible to delete your Incognito list to test? You can check yourself! If you clear the localstorage or use incognito mode, then the list of visited sites should be zeroed out by default. Otherwise, if you have a plugin or extension which sets a cookie for the initial visit (as seen in the blog post), that would show up in the local storage.

If you add something to incognito mode, such as typing www.google.com into the address bar, and visit google.
