Incognito or private mode prevents your browser from saving local data, such as history, cookies, and form data, on your device, ensuring privacy from other users of that computer. However, it does not hide your activity from websites, internet service providers (ISPs), employers, or protect against malware and phishing.

Enjoyed listening to the latest #IncognitoMode podcast about the #forkiverse instance. I'm glad you're all here on the Fediverse now!

And to respond to your request - here's a picture of where I was when I heard you wanted a picture on the podcast.

"I stopped using " #Incognito Mode" for #privacy after learning about #fingerprinting"

#Incognitomode is one of the biggest privacy misnomers. The name is designed to make you feel like you're protected #online, that what you're #browsing is #anonymous and hidden away from the world.

But in reality, #privatebrowsing isn't private, and that needs to be addressed.
