Incognito Browsing

/ˌɪnkəɡˈniːtoʊ ˈbraʊzɪŋ/noun
ELI5 mode

Incognito browsing is a privacy-enhancing feature in web browsers that temporarily disables the storage of browsing history, cookies, and cache, allowing users to navigate the internet without leaving a trail on their device. While it provides a layer of discretion for everyday activities like shopping or research, it doesn't conceal your activity from ISPs, websites, or employers, making it a useful but not foolproof tool in the digital age. This mode has become increasingly popular as online privacy concerns grow, though it's often misunderstood as full anonymity.
