Chrome’s Incognito Mode protects the users’ privacy when they browse the Web. At the same time, it is very useful for troubleshooting purposes. Pages you view in incognito tabs won’t stick around in your browser’s history, cookie store, or search history after you’ve closed all of your incognito tabs. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept. However, you aren’t invisible. Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit. Here is how to activate an Incognito Mode.

Here is How to Start Chrome in an Incognito Mode:

  • STEP 1: At first, open Chrome browser and click the wrench icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

    • windows-10-chrome-incognito-mode

  • STEP 2: Click New Incognito Window and start browsing.
    Ctrl+Shift+N to bring up a new incognito window without entering the Chrome settings menu.
  • STEP 3: To create a desktop shortcut that opens Chrome in incognito mode, duplicate an existing Chrome shortcut, right-click on the shortcut, select Properties and append this flag to the target value:
    -incognito

    Don’t forget to add a space to separate the flag.
    Now, simply double click on the edited shortcut to enter Incognito Mode.
