No. Incognito doesn’t make you private.
What it does:
- Doesn’t save history on YOUR device
- Deletes cookies when you close
What it does NOT do:
- Hide activity from your ISP (they see everything)
- Hide your IP from websites
- Stop tracking while browsing
- Make you anonymous
Incognito is like closing blinds — your roommate can’t see, but your ISP is already inside watching.
For real privacy:
- Privacy-focused browser (not Chrome incognito)
- VPN to hide from ISP
- Tracker blocking
