Private browsing, also known as incognito mode or privacy mode, is a feature that allows users to browse the internet without the browser recording their browsing history, search history, downloaded files, or cookies. When a user activates private browsing mode, the browser creates a temporary session that isolates their online activity from their regular browsing session. This means that websites visited in private mode generally won’t appear in the browsing history, and login credentials and other data entered during the session are not typically saved.
