Is Incognito Mode On Browser Apps Really Safe? This Is The Fact

YOGYAKARTA – For some internet users, the search history saved by the browser application may not be something of value. In fact, not a few of us may not know its meaning and function.

However, of course not a few internet users who understand and know this mode. Moreover, we can already find various information related to incognito mode more easily via the internet.

So, what is incognito mode? Does the mode in this browser application really make surfing the internet safer? For more details, see the descriptions that have been summarized by the VOI team from the following sources.

Initially, incognito mode was actually a special setting that only Chrome users could access. However, now a number of browser applications are also equipped with similar features. Of course with a slightly different name.

This mode allows users to be more 'safe' while surfing the internet. The reason is, this mode will not save various search data made by the user. Such as log history, cookies, site data, and other forms of information.

Usually, the data is stored by the browser for a specific purpose. Namely to optimize the user's skating experience until it is sold. This data is often an easy target for hackers.

Through search data, hackers can track user activity. Including transaction data that users make through e-commerce sites or buying and selling.

Talking about security, we must first identify the meaning of 'digital security'. Incognito mode, to a certain extent, is indeed effective in making users' online activities more secure.

By not storing some form of data, of course it can make users more secure. Especially when someone manages to access your device. Just imagine, someone managed to hack into your computer network, but found nothing.

However, at the level of data leaks at the app developer level, Incognito Mode won't be able to help you. The reason is, this security issue is more complex than hacking data stored on certain devices.

However, in the midst of this increasingly rapid technological development, always using incognito mode while surfing can at least take care of yourself. In addition, to keep your privacy data completely safe, don't just share personal data with the app.

And through these new habits, at least we can minimize the impact of data theft at the individual stage. However, we, as netizens and users of technology products, must be vigilant and participate in protecting personal data.
