How to use AinoAid™ in incognito mode
Browsing in incognito mode, also known as private browsing, is a feature offered by web browsers that allows you to browse the internet without leaving traces of your activity on your device. The browser doesn't save information like browsing history, cookies, or temporary files when using incognito mode.
Think of it like wearing an invisible cloak while surfing the web. When you open a new incognito window or tab, your browser creates a temporary session that doesn't connect to your regular browsing data. Any websites you visit or searches you perform in incognito mode won't be stored in your browser's history.
Additionally, cookies, which are tiny files that websites use to remember your preferences or track your activity, are deleted as soon as you close the incognito window or tab.
While browsing incognito, you can visit websites, click on links, and use web services just like in a regular browsing session.
However, remember that incognito mode only hides your activity from others who use your device. It doesn't make you completely anonymous or protect you from surveillance by websites, your internet service provider, or any other external entities.
Incognito mode can be useful for various reasons, such as accessing websites without your browsing history being saved, signing in to multiple accounts simultaneously, or searching for sensitive information you don't want to save on your device.
Remember that your activity is not entirely invisible while browsing in Incognito/Private mode. Websites you visit, internet service providers, and network administrators may still be able to track your online actions.
Incognito/Private mode primarily helps to prevent the browser from storing information locally on your device. If you want higher privacy or security levels, additional measures like using a virtual private network (VPN) or specialised privacy tools may be required.
