Misconceptions about private browser tabs
Incognito mode protects you exclusively from relatives or colleagues who might use the same computer after you. Your internet service provider, system administrator at work, and the websites you visit all see your real IP address and the exact list of opened web pages just as they would in a normal window.
How to achieve true anonymity
- run an encrypted secure tunnel to mask your network requests from your ISP
- use specialized browsers featuring digital fingerprint and tracker blocking
- regularly clear your device's system DNS cache after finishing your online session
