Have you ever used incognito as an anonymizer?

Incognito or private browsing really awesome featured for any browser for keep safe your all information. And incognito very much safer rather than using some Anonymizer tolls. Which will work something like that Incognito. If you used Incognito tab for browsing any website your page will be auto deleted around your browser history, cookie, cashed history after closing this tab.

It is helping very much to protect your browser history against fraud or hacker.
So, my suggestion, if you need to access your personal and importance website or email in public or office computer, do not forget to use Incognito or private browser.

I've used incognito a few times and it's pretty basic, but works well

I also have a few plugins that delete my cookies, cache, flash cookies, etc. on a set time. I think I have it set to every 10 minutes and all that is wiped. It gets annoying sometimes when I go to a website and have to enter my login credential, but I see it as more of a good thing than a bad thing since it clears my computer of anything that could be malicious. I also have spyware/adware monitoring that runs twice a day. I can delay it for 1, 2, 4, 12 hours at a time if I'm still online, which I tend to do lol. Basically my computer has a lot of firewalls and kill methods for harmful stuff that could hurt not only my computer but my identity

I also use HMA (hidemyass) sometimes when I'm browsing online. I usually use it when I'm working and have my software scraping or running to build links to second and third tier links. HMA is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that allows you to be anonymous online by changing your IP address to show as you're anywhere in the world. This is a great thing to use, well any vpn service is, when you work online as an Online Marketer like I do.

There are so many reasons to use the browsers anonymous settings and also using a VPN to hide behind when running a few things. The main reason I use these is so people can't complain to my ISP if they ever track back to me

Hi Razzy thank for your details answer. Yes I am also using HMA (hidemyass) for another reason like for hide my online identity. But Incognito working something differently and it is completely free tools by several browser like chrome, Firefox, IE. And if you browse with ?incognito tab, all information like cookies, cache will delete automatically and it is very much effective for protecting fraud or hacker. And as free tools it is really very good. Besides, I use premium ccleaner and it also working very fine to clean up all data from your browser. And you can run also by schedule.

Hello
Using incognito doesn't mean you are anonymous.Only the thing is there will be no history or cookie stored.
But the file you download will be stored on your desktop.
Using incognito window or normal window all your activity can be traced by your ISP or other.

The only way to keep your self anonymous is using secured VPN software.Which changes your real location to other fake location. as It hides your real location, so that no one can track you and you are completely safe online.

Use of VPN must be only use for personal purposes not for hacking purposes.

Hi ssam thanks for your answering. I think you see what I tried to mean? I did not said Incognito completely work as Anonymizer rather I said it is working something like that Anonymizer tools. And people are using several anonymizer for hiding their only indent and incognito also work something like that, though It is free service from chrome or Firefox or IE. And I never compare with some other premium VPN. And VPN mostly hide all your online IP and open barrier for accessing any website from over the glove. But they do not clean up your browser history. But if you use incognito, your local PC all date will delete automatically.

I am starting to use incognito as an anonymizer when I use public computers and go on important websites like when I do my online banking and buy stuff online so there is no history of my information stored on my computer and public ones. This is not 100% safe but it does add an extra layer of security which is quite useful and with a good antivirus, it is pretty well secured. I used to delete my browsing history from time to time to remove all the financial details from my history but now with this feature built into browsers, I can be a lot safer while doing less work.
