Most Recognizable web browsers have a standard browsing feature. This feature is known as private browsing mode or Incognito mode. Once you enable this mode in any browser you can safely browse through the internet. This mode doesn’t record the browser activity while browsing. Because once you enable this mode browser stores all the cache and history in the RAM, so while closing the browser it wipes out all the data instantly. This makes Incognito Mode special and many users use this mode for several purposes. A recent study says almost two out of three internet users use Incognito Mode. Most people use this mode for hiding browsing history. And most of the users use this mode to browse restricted content.
