Digital skills for adults - Course 1- English

Using incognito mode

Incognito mode is private browsing that doesn’t leave as many tracks. It can erase temporary data that is captured by the PC or device you’re using.

While all privacy modes aren’t the same, most private browser settings won’t retain your cookies, browsing history, search records, passwords, or personally identifiable information, also known as PII)

Steps for using incognito mode on Google Chrome:

1. On your computer, open Chrome.

2. At the top right, click More  

3. Click on the New incognito window

Practical exercise:

 please try to set my most used browser to “incognito” (anonymous) mode.  You will be asked about it during the assessment later at the end of this module.
