Who Made Incognito Mode?

The private browsing mode feature was first introduced in 2005 by Apple Safari 2.0. After three years, it was followed by Google Chrome 1.0 (Incognito).

Why was incognito created?

Google Chrome's “Incognito Mode” was designed to make sharing computers easier in places like the office where one device could have multiple users. With Incognito Mode enabled, the Chrome browser won't save the browsing history, cookies, site data, or information entered on forms by users.

Is Google Chrome Incognito really private?

Is Incognito Mode Really Private? Well, no. Incognito mode offers some privacy,but it doesn't provide total anonymity. In fact, when you open an Incognito window, it explicitly states that your browsing activity might still be visible to websites you visit, your employer or school, and your internet service provider.
