Cough Cough... Chrome... Chough...

Everytime this is reposted in a new template I remind everyone that no one is using incognito mode to hide from their ISP they are using it to hide from their spouse or partner.

I always thought private browsing was just so all the porn content doesn't stay in search history's and the address bar doesn't auto fill fatasshonkeybabes.com if my grandmother sits down to look at her Facebooks.

The ISP can see every domain, but not every page. That's what HTTPS everywhere was all about.

The fact anyone ever thought this was for any reason other than making it easier to hide your porn browsing history from your mom is just silly.

At a minimum this meme maker has no idea how TLS, browsers, cookies, or DNS work.

Assuming you're using https, your ISP cannot see what pages you visit. It can only see what website you access (IP address).

Only in Chrome? In every browser using private mode, private mode only delete the local storage (wbSQL, Serviceworkers, cookies, cache, etc), no other things, it hide nothing, for webpages which log you (or the search engine you use, AI and some other extensions which you use in "private"mode) it's irrelevant if you use private or normal mode. It's a very frecuent missconcept to believe that the private mode is the same as anonym browsing, simple extensions, like Cookie Autodelete or SiteBleacher do exactly the same as browsing in private mode, but with the feature that you can partial or full whitelist the pages where private mode isn't needed.

More or less Private only if you use VPN, SPN, MPR, Snowflake or at least a proxie.

As someone who hosts my own dns server I can confirm that I can see everything that is accessed but the not the whole url, I can see the base url like if you access YouTube, I’ll see that you pinged YouTube.com, what you received exactly I don’t know but I can tell that you went on YouTube.

The one word more people need to know about: threatmodel

Use Mullvad, iVPN or Proton and they really won't see what you're doing

with Mullvad and iVPN, be sure to use the quantum encryption. And to help obscure your traffic with proton, be sure to use a proxy that has around 50% to 60% usage. That way anyone who tries to use a quantum computer to break the encryption on a proton VPN proxy is going to see everyone else's traffic using that proxy as well as you. There would be a lot of shit to go through even if they use a quantum computer.

Encrypted DNS anyone? (NextDNS for example)

So you think people should assume they have absolute privacy because of the word "incognito"?

Its true for every browser except Tor.

Replace ISP with VPN, if you use them.

Also VPNs see everything you do, but please, again, enlighten me how paying some OTHER corporation somehow better protects me from corporations?

incognito browsing has been proven to not be as private as it seems.
