Why don't people just visit in incognito mode in the first place?
- seanp2k2 10y agoBecause that's annoying, history is useful sometimes, and logging in to multiple times to multiple sites is a chore. Edit: grammar
- Buge 10y agoNot visit all sites in incognito. Visit this specific site in incognito, since it has "Ruin my history" in the title.
- Jugurtha 10y agoIt depends. I have multiple windows (incognito and normal) containing many tabs. It takes copying the URL, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+V, Enter. History is important, but the site is called "ruinmysearchhistory.com". I visit websites I know with my normal window, the rest is mostly in incognito and if it's something I want to remember, I'll make sure to include it (i.e: visit it in normal mode, Evernote, Bookmarks, email to myself, etc).
- flealam 10y agoYou could just 'Right Click->Open in Incognito' instead of manually copying the URL, at least in Chrome.
- khedoros 10y agoFirefox and Pale Moon both have "Open Link in New Private Window". IE has some kind of private browsing option as well, but I don't know what would be the equivalent way to invoke it.
- Jugurtha 10y agoI do that when I'm already in incognito mode, not in normal mode because I don't know where the tab will be open (I have multiple incognito windows and I like to know where each tab is/will be).
- ReFruity 10y agoI google things I don't want in my history in incognito mode. The question is: does it prevent being tracked by Google?
- ahmetkun 10y agoi do that too but i'm pretty sure my browser and my isp send enough information to google to perfectly identify me.
