The history of visits, downloads, entered passwords, cookies and other data that can be used to determine what you did on the Internet are not saved at all or are deleted after closing the window.
What will incognito mode give you:
- search queries are not saved in the browser
- URLs of visited sites are not saved in the browser history
- Entered passwords are not saved
- the files you download remain on your computer, but they are not in your download history
- the ability to log in to a site where you are already logged in, using a different login
- if you are logged in to any website in normal mode, in incognito mode this authorization is not taken into account
What incognito mode will NOT give you:
- Incognito mode doesn't hide your online activities
- your internet service provider "sees" which sites you have visited
- if you use a work computer, the sites you visit will be visible to your employer
- The sites themselves “see” that you visited them
- if you log in to any site (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc.) under your account, it will be noticeable. You won’t be able to become “invisible” by simply turning on incognito mode

Therefore, when you ask the question - how to enable incognito mode in a browser, you can be sure... any browser (even internet explorer) may not leave traces in history, nor save passwords, caches or other data that could compromise you.
Incognito mode is great for those cases when you don’t want to leave your browsing history and other information on your computer (and you don’t need to think that this can only be useful for watching naked chicks on the Internet). Well, look, you visited a friend and decided to check his email through his computer. Using incognito mode you will not leave any traces in its system.

Each browser has its own designation of a hidden presence on the network. For some it is private mode, while for others it is incognito. Everything is as similar as possible, but there are still subtle differences depending on the browser you use
How to enable incognito mode in Google Chrome
Google Chrome is probably the most popular browser on Windows platforms and Android and its private browsing mode is called “Incognito Mode”
Windows version
To activate incognito mode in the Google Chrome browser for Windows, you need to open the menu in the upper right corner of the program (indicated by three vertical dots) and select “New window in incognito mode” from the drop-down list.

Activating Incognito mode in Yandex Browser

Windows version
Open the browser menu (three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the program) and click “Incognito Mode” in the drop-down list or press the combination Ctrl keys+ Shift + N on your keyboard.

You can exit stealth mode by simply closing the window - no problem 😉
Android version
The version of Yandex Browser for Android is quite different from Chrome. This browser I use it as my main smartphone and incognito mode is activated here through the drop-down menu (three dots) on the main screen of the program.
Exiting from it is also elementary - click on the list of open tabs and close the one that is incognito - that’s it!
Mozilla Firefox: How to open a private window
Throughout many years Mozilla Firefox was my favorite, but its clumsiness and gluttony set its priorities... I'm glad that they are developing their own engine and not based on Chrome - hence the differences.

Microsoft Edge: New InPrivate window
They say EDGE is the most fast browser for Windows... a strong statement - I certainly won’t check it. This new browser from Microsoft, which is included in Windows composition 10 and was probably created to gradually replace Internet Explorer. Since IE and EDGE are brothers, the designation hidden mode has not changed - it is called InPrivate.
Open your browser menu and select New InPrivate Window or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P.
All windows on which it is active this mode will be gray and on each of the tabs there will be an “InPrivate” icon - you can’t go wrong.
