The Internet & WebOnline Privacy

Incognito Isn't Invisible

Private mode hides your history from your phone, not from the internet

You shop for a surprise gift in a private window, then close it. Your phone forgets. So who still knows?

You'll find out

  • What a private window really wipes
  • Who saw your visit anyway
  • What the padlock can't hide

In 2024, Google agreed to delete or anonymize billions of records of private browsing to settle a lawsuit.
