incognito is use to erased all history that you search, it's not use to cover your location or change where you from
True true
Exactly, I am surprised that people did not know this.
I only use incognito for checking out websites like roblox scams or something so my cookies dont get stolen and im not even logged in

I don't think anyone ever thought that incognito mode makes you anonymous or protects your privacy. All it's for is to look up 'content' without worrying about search history, which is what everyone uses it for.
yeah, i don't think anyone ever thought that is Made Them Anonymous or Protected Their Privacy.

I use it to hide from my parents so then I don’t have to delete every page I’ve been on
Not just that, your searches are also saved in the search bar, that doesn't happen in private browsing.

Yes, Incognito was made back when moms were like, "Sweetie, get off the internet! I need to use the phone!" (If you were alive in the 90's, you know EXACTLY what I am talking about.)
Pls explain
@@mayursable4921 so basically the way I remember it, there was limited Wi-Fi usage for the phone (that was usually on the wall) and if we were using the computer that would use up the limited Wi-Fi, so when mother (or any person) tells you get off the internet.
But that’s long gone and Wi-Fi routers have been upgraded to what you’re comfortable with now ( I’m guessing you’re still young )
@@regulati3929 I'd be surprised if Wifi even existed back then
@@regulati3929 modems used phones to communicate with the internet, and when you were using it you couldn't do phone calls because it was technically already on the line.
at least that's how i understand it.
Networks did exist; Arpanet in 1960’s. However, Wi-Fi didn’t exist yet.
To those who think Wi-Fi was invented by women, you are partially wrong, and partially right.
The reason why is, A female actress (accidentally) made the signal hopping tech that is still used in Wi-Fi today.
It took a group of men to form her signal hopping tech and their brains to form it into the thing we have today.

@@ytgvgamers223 i hate to be that guy but wanted to get rid of some false info (if you have the ip if sombody you can ddos them)
you actually need to have a port open so it can send packets into the server aka your ip because how ddos attacks work it shortened over loads the server with packets so to have an open port this could mean multible things port forwarding on your router or just genrally having a server open so if you turn off port forwarding you will be pretty much safe from most moder ddos software

the reasoning behind the fact that your device is always tracked is so you still wont be able to find illegal stuff or be able to make anonymous threats just from going into incognito. To be honest, most people really dont care what you do in incognito when you have "fun" due to the sheer amount that does

I expected this to show how you can actually see someone's browsing history from incognito sessions but it just told me exactly what I knew even back in 2012: It doesn't change how your internet works, the browser just doesn't log history or cookies on your end while you use incognito mode.
Congrats 🙄
I knew this already!
I still think, Incognito browsing is useful because you can look if you are shadowbanned or log into alt accounts without having to log out and cookies are deleted afterwards making it harder for the website owners to track what I have done.
But yeah, don't assume it's safe from the governments or profi hackers!
@Liron Segev first visit to your channel. I remember whilst I was young I was “ahead of the curve” where tech was concerned. I’m 47yrs old-and I’m shocked at the rate of tech innovation. I’ve accepted that I may be in need of “hardware upgrades” at my age, but I’m beginning to feel obsolete!
I’ve always lived by the assumption if I am willing to learn something that I will be able to adapt and learn it, or “Keep up.” I am realizing however that it is impossible to keep up with everything unless it is your career to do so (and even then I don’t know that is always the case!) I’m a nurse, and we don’t use Microsoft Office for intranet email. I used Gmail at home. So essentially I was shielded from MS Office for 8yrs; holy cow-. A recent career change humbled me with that lesson. I’ve spent so many evenings at home on RUclips to become familiar with MS Office shortcuts and tips. By the way if you have any particular channels/sources you recommend for picking up new software tips/time savers, please do share!
I appreciate the clear format, and finally someone explaining why I may/may not need a VPN. As I’m a person who never uses public WiFi connections or visits sketchy urls, I have no need. Thanks for saving me some bucks!

In short, incognito is meant for local privacy, not network privacy. That's what VPNs are (supposedly) for.
I wanted to use incognito mode because me and a friend got into a discussion over Japanese Age and Obscene Imagery laws because we thought it was bizarre how things like loli even exist, they should be banned
Unfortunately I wasnt even in incognito mode and I got some dreadful warning telling me that "hey this is illegal" which scared the life out of me.

Tbh here's what I do (for context Im fine with the browser knowing but not anyone around me) I use a separate browser on a separate account and I don't use incognito since it's useless but unless someone finds the alternate account in question and makes the connection or catches me on the account it's completely hidden from those around me

Jesus, that thumbnail is not censored enough.
Admit it we all use incognito mode because we're too lazy to erase our search history's
its true 💀
Personally I love incognito mode but not for the reasons most people think. As a web developer, I use incognito mode usually to check the status of a website with a fresh instance of the browser. But yeah it doesn’t do about anything else, just a fresh instance of a browser with nothing signed in
So in other words it does exactly what its expected to and I can trust it. I thought this was going to be about some secret way for people to recover my browsing history.
Same here, my heart almost dropped but luckily my history is nowhere to be seen. 💀🤚

All I use private browsing for is so that prawn sites don't show up in my regular browser when I start typing a website. It's not information I care that google or anyone has, just don't want my auto filled sites to be chockas with prawn. If anyone is using it for legit 'privacy' then what you want is a Tor browser.
I use browsers that use ad-blockers and tracker protection software if I ever feel a website could even possibly be sketchy
well it's all good for me since I only use incognito mode to not leave trace of "certain" things. Just like the thing you said about back in the days.

I didn’t know people thought going incognito meant they were super secure I thought it was common knowledge that it’s just no browsing history and no cookies because it just means I don’t have to go into the settings and delete them makes my life slightly easier.
as a microsoft edge user. i pirated some games back then and i didnt want my isp to know about it, i knew incognito was unsafe so i realised i can just change from user to guest, it is much safer and if you are logged into a school im pretty sure it doesnt save anytihng
You opened a new incognito window while the other instance was still active. I might be wrong but if the initial instance never closed, it would still be counted to make two visitors (the arming and the incognito) but if you went straight into incognito mode by right clicking on the Chrome icon and selecting new incognito window, you wouldn’t have the problem of multiple visitors if you went to your website… but you’d never know how many people were visiting your site since you’d have to log in to see your traffic activity. Sort of like opening the refrigerator to see if the light ever turns off… more paradoxical “spooky science” to stir the einsteinian radicals lol.
I believe the "2" refers to your first view in regular mode, and now it sees your 2nd connection in incognito mode. Both from Dallas. You would probably have to wait a little for the backend to consider that you are no longer 'there'.
yeah thats a good guess but I am not sure as it was for different web pages. I suspect there is some connection to my browser though. I hate the fact that they are not transparent about these things....
This video: Do not trust Incognito mode or private browsing

Thank you so much!
Why do so many people think that incognito/private browsing protects you from your ISP, websites, or trackers seeing your Internet activity? It never claimed to do that. No browser ever claimed that. I swear the reading comprehension of the human race has dipped to an all time low in recent years. Incognito/private browsing prevents other people who physically use the same computer as you from seeing what you did online while using the computer. That is what it does, and that is always what it has claimed to do. Again: incognito/private browsing prevents other people who physically use the same computer as you from seeing what you did while you were using the computer. It does NOT block your ISP, websites, trackers, or other online stuff from seeing what you are doing, and it has NEVER claimed to do this. Reading comprehension. Get some. Smh.
I always thought that works that way because I read the Incognito Mode Warning.
Besides, I used Incognito because I used my laptops together with my family.
why so mad tho
Dude it’s really not that big of a deal calm down 😂
I’ve seen some memes about it, like people wanting to search up something illegal like the Tiananmen Square Massacre and claiming they use incognito to look it up. Law enforcement will still see your activity even when you’re incognito. The secret ingredient is a VPN and Tor
Mad 🤡🤡
Well, they say that everyone has their FBI agent, maybe that's why it says "2 active connections"
Then in that case they’ve seen lots of..stuff😃

I just use incognito mode when I don't want certain sites showing up in my browsing history. And don't want chrome to auto complete or make suggestions to a particular site if I type po in the address bar. I'm not worried about anyone in the house deliberately searching my computer or the network for signs of my activity
I think the reason it says two users on the page when you go incognito is either because you are viewing it in two windows (one where it knows who you are and one where it doesn't) or because it hasn't finished referencing/using the cookie from the version where it knows who you are but that's just a guess.
I mostly just use incognito to search for weird things or disturbing things I don't want to leave in my search history I just don't want to randomly type something into the search bar and reminding myself of the atrocities I have searched
I don't know about other browsers, but at least Firefox, when you open it in incognito mode will give you a little info-box under the central search bar, saying that the icognito mode will not save any cookies nor website history, but your ISP and everyone else can still see your activity.
No surprises for me there
Thats absolutely how it says in the freaking manual of Firefox......
Most users dont read that stuff i get it, but if someone uses security-features they should know what those functions can do and what not.
I think its absolutely fine that my son cant see the websites i browsed in private mode and no coockies are left of that action because otherwise ads with my preferences would pop up.
And thats all the "private browsing" is about.
This guy fits the criteria so well for incognito mode it actually made me laugh.
🙄
*chuckles* I'm in danger.
Dude… I might be in big trouble.
The only thing I search for under private browsing are embarrassing questions I don’t want in my search history

I have a friend with a 3TB SSD laptop setup and he used his private browser to download videos from the hub and filled 1.23TB of it with videos. He was on school WiFi, and had to wipe the SSD he downloaded it to. Proof that private browsers aren’t like VPNs
Forget not knowing what a private browser does, who uses school WiFi for something like that!?
Honestly I’m fine with that happening since people other than the government won’t know what I’m searching on incognito

This video was long overdue. Just the name, "incognito mode" makes it sound like you are truly invisible. As you demonstrated, this is completely incorrect. Without an offshore VPN, you have little protections against your activities online. OS fingerprinting is one of the major offenders. Maybe Liron could do a future video on that topic?
exactly - its misleading... I will look as OS fingerprinting and see if there is a way to make it interesting 😂
@@LironSegev how is it misleading when the page that pops up when going incognito explains, clearly, what that mode does and doesn't do?
I thought people used incognito mode to hide their cookies and protect their browsing history from others in your household. Its very hard to hide yourself from motivated companies and individual experts on the internet.
