How To Use Google’s Incognito Mode – Guide
Google Chrome offers a convenient way to switch between open and private browsing. When in anonymous mode, your browsing history, cookies and other data are not saved, though downloaded files and bookmarks remain stored. Logging into sites that Chrome regularly visits may require manual log-in.
