Everyone has their own privacy which they want to maintain. While using mobile phones we can also maintain privacy by using incognito mode in browser which is also known as private browsing. When you start to browse privately that helps to protect your private data and information. It also helps in not saving the browsing history, download history, the pages you had visited, the ID and password you had accessed and chunks some of the websites from tracing your activities. It also doesn’t save the cookies and temporary internet files.
