When you don’t want anyone to check your browsing history and see what websites you have visited, you must use your browser’s Private or Incognito mode. By browsing the web in incognito mode, pages that you view won’t appear in your browser’s history. So anyone who opens your browser can’t check the browsing history and see where you’ve been.

Even in incognito mode any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept. So what will you do if you want to save your secret websites while browsing in incognito mode?
