Browse without a trace Sharing is caring, but that should be your call. Shake off tracking weight Not only do trackers collect info, they can weigh down your browsing speeds. Such tracking might be used, for example, to display ads to a user visiting multiple sites in Incognito. This third-party cookie blocking, which halts such behavior, debuted in Chrome 83 in May Google has been experimenting with new language on Chrome's Incognito introductory page, but it's yet to make it to the desktop browser.
In the Canary build of Chrome on Android, however, the intro now outlines "What Incognito does" and "What Incognito doesn't do," to make the mode's capabilities somewhat clearer to the user.
Some have speculated that the changes were made in reaction to a still-ongoing class-action lawsuit file in that alleged Google continued to track users' online behavior and movements in Incognito. Once a tab in Incognito has been filled with a website, Chrome continues to remind users that they're in Incognito by the dark background of the address bar and window title. A link on an existing page can be opened directly into Incognito by right-clicking the link, then choosing Open Link in Incognito Window from the resulting menu.
What Incognito looks like after pulling up a website. Note the "spy" icon at the right of the address bar. To close an Incognito window, shutter it like any other Chrome window by clicking the X in the upper right corner Windows or the red dot in the upper left macOS.
Pro tip: Google has been working on locking Incognito mode tabs on mobile devices -- the tabs unlocked with built-in biometric features -- so that others can't get a look at the privacy mode's content simply by picking up another's phone or tablet.
Google is currently rolling out this feature in Chrome 92 on iOS, and still testing it in preview builds of Chrome for Android. No word on whether desktop Chrome will get something similar. When Edge was first released in and then relaunched as a clone of Chrome in January , InPrivate was part of the package, too.
A slower way to get there is to click on the menu at the upper right -- it's three dots arranged horizontally -- and choose New InPrivate Window from the menu. Like other browser, Edge will take you incognito from the menu 1 when you pick New InPrivate window 2.
Edge does a more thorough job of explaining what its private browsing mode does and doesn't do than any of its rivals, with on-screen paragraphs dedicated to describing what data the browser collects in InPrivate and how the strictest additional anti-tracking setting can be called on from within the mode.
In addition, Edge 92 -- the current version as of this writing -- uses the more informal "What Incognito does" and "What Incognito doesn't do" language on its InPrivate introductory screen, something desktop Chrome hasn't yet gotten to.
Microsoft's browser also well marks InPrivate when the mode is operating: a blue-colored oval marked "In Private" to the right of the address bar combines with a full-black screen to make sure users know where they're at.
That option is grayed out when already in a private browsing session but using Open Link in New Tab does just that within the current InPrivate frame. To end InPrivate browsing, simply shut the window by clicking the X in the upper right corner Windows or click the red dot at the upper left macOS. Although Microsoft based the relaunched Edge on Chromium, the same open-source project that comes up with the code to power Chrome, the Redmond, Wash.
To set Tracking Prevention, choose Settings from the three-ellipses menu at the right, then at the next page, pick Privacy, Search and Services. Choose one of the three options -- Basic, Balanced or Strict -- and make sure the toggle for Tracking prevention is in the "on" position.
If you want InPrivate to always default to the harshest anti-tracking -- not a bad idea -- toggle Always use "Strict" tracking prevention when browsing InPrivate to "on. Toggle Always use Strict to the 'on' position and InPrivate will apply the most stringent anti-tracking even though Edge's standard mode is set to, say, Balanced. There is no similar one-step way to do this in macOS.
