From Google,

For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, for example, to plan surprises like gifts or birthdays, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito won’t be logged in your browsing and download histories; all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window. You can browse normally and in incognito mode at the same time by using separate windows.

How to browse in incognito mode with chrome? Just press ctrl+shift+N, And a new chrome window opens with incognito icon incognito iconin the top left corner. Browsing in this window doesn’t leave any digital footprints. Enjoy!

Another Trick – You can also right-click any link and select Open link in incognito window.

Important note – If you are browsing in incognito mode then Chrome will not store any information related to the websites you visit. But the websites that you visit may still log all your information like your IP etc. If you want to hide this as well you need to surf anonymously. Just wait for a few days, we will publish an ultimate article on anonymous surfing.
