Is "Incognito" safer than proxies or anonymizer sites?
The visited sites history and cookies will be automatically deleted as soon as a tab is closed in "Incognito", but the data still exist at the sites we have visited, and at times some files may be saved during a session. Is it possible to clear this too?
Best Answer
See Google's own explanation.
Your IP is not hidden in any way when surfing in "incognito mode". It only affects what is stored on your personal computer. If you explicitly download a file to the hard drive, it is not erased when closing the browser, but cookies, etc., are.
A proxy in itself will hide your personal IP, but instead won't help you with tracking cookies that are stored on your personal computer. "Incognito mode" and proxies function in different domains, in that way.
