Incognito was never meant to make you think you’re hiding anything from the browser that you’re typing everything into. It’s about loading a website without any prior context (i.e. cookies) and not saving the state when you’re done.
Incognito is useful for debugging cookie state issues without having to nuke your existing cache only to find out it wasn’t the issue.
It’s also useful when you have to log in on someone else’ computer. Open incognito, log in, do your business, close the window. No risk of accidentally staying logged in. (But if they’re actively trying to mitm you, incognito won’t matter. Just don’t use any devices that person has access to).
You forgot the #1 purpose: having a wank and leaving no browser history involving midgets and bukkake
Sure, but we all mostly use it for porn
Yup
My brother in christ, plese get yourself a second browser profile. Keeping a history and bookmarks are wankchanging.
Finally, someone else who understands.
I switched to firefox
I use Arch, btw
Firefox gives you pretty much the same experience as chrome, tbf. Not really the case with arch lol
I’ve been having trouble with it on in-browser video calls, so now I also use opera
Opera is probably the worst you can use. Browsers for privacy
Btw, Opera is owned by a chinese company and is about as private as google chrome.
b-but funny social media account!!!
LibreWolf. Hardened Firefox. Brave. Default Firefox. Something. PLEASENOTCHROME
I love Firefox and will continue using it until they shit all over adblockers too. Which I don’t really see them doing, but ya never know. Eventually, when there’s just no way to avoid ads, I’ll stop using the internet lmao
Brave does very little to control Google’s influence on the web. Better than Chrome, but not by much.
Really if we wan the open internet to continue Firefox (and derivatives) or Safari the only options. I’m still sad that Edge was replaced by Chromium. Even though Microsoft isn’t great it is another engine that Google needs to convince to implement their crap.
Meh. Firefox is the best browser if you care about privacy and FOSS.
Laughes in Brave.
I don’t get why people rave about brave. It is chrome with affiliate links baked in.
lololol. The browser that’s packed to the brim with crypto bullshit? You gotta be kidding me.
Brave is still based on Chromium and suffers from Google decisions. Remember when Google wanted to remove Manifest V2? Brave would also be affected by that. Yes, it is open source, but they do not have the resources to maintain a seperate codebase with Manifest V2 support while Google keeps updating Chromium without Manifest V2. Firefox ftw
When Chrome was first launched, so many people thought Incognito would be useless. Little did they know.
Incognito is useless though, it hides your history from only you. Google stores, ISP stores, that site stores, just your browser forgets.
Goes to a very bad website
Mr Incognito is very cross indeed!
Vivaldi or brave (or both)
Real ones use tor browser
