By activating the incognito mode in your favorite browser , which is possibly Chrome if you are like 70% of the population, you may feel safe and think that no one can find your dark passions, whatever they may be.
How wrong are you.
Contrary to what many people think, the incognito mode of your Internet browser only serves to hide the trail on the device you are using. Unfortunately, today everything is stored in the cloud, one way or another.
It is true that this can prevent your family or friends from encountering more than suspicious suggestions in the Google search engine, but little else: the trace of what you have searched for can be easily found if your traffic is analyzed , something that happens very often. often in corporate or hotel or even public networks, where it is very easy for someone to spy on.
And here the most important thing is not taken into account: the trail you leave on all the websites you visit and which companies of all kinds, especially advertising, can use to know you better and offer you "better ads".
A recent study clearly points out in this direction: all pornography websites, which is what 'subtly' we were talking about, have countless 'trackers', of elements that follow you when you browse them and when you jump to other websites. And the incognito mode does not protect you at all from them .
In total, 93% of the 22,484 pages analyzed collect information from their users and sell them to third parties . With incognito mode enabled, we add. And almost half of them, 44.97% of the total, categorize and also expose or suggest to those third parties the sexual preferences of the users . This can be very dangerous in those countries where any orientation other than heterosexuality is pursued.
The only way to watch pornography, or anything else, without being persecuted is to use Tor . Unlike Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox, Tor blocks all trackers that users face when they browse the Internet.
It requires some learning and that is why it is perhaps not as popular as others, but for now, it is the only easily accessible alternative for those who want to subvert the fully implemented norm that you have to know what each person does when using the Internet .
