What is incognito mode and is it really safe?

Ever used incognito mode and thought, “Nice, now no one can see what I’m doing?”
The truth is, incognito mode doesn’t make you invisible online.

Incognito mode helps keep your activity private on your device by not saving your browsing history, cookies, or autofill data once you close the window. That’s great for shared devices or logging into multiple accounts—but it doesn’t stop tracking beyond your browser.

Your internet provider, employer, and the websites you visit can still see your activity. Incognito mode doesn’t hide your IP address, and it doesn’t block online trackers or advertisers from collecting data about you.

In this video, we break down:
What incognito mode actually does

Why you can still be tracked while browsing privately
How to get stronger online privacy with a VPN

If you want real online privacy, pairing incognito mode with a VPN is key. A VPN encrypts your internet connection and hides your IP address, helping keep your activity more private—especially on public Wi-Fi.

For added protection, Avast SecureLine VPN helps encrypt your connections so you can browse with more confidence and privacy.
