How To Completely Go Incognito! Is Privately Browsing Enough?
When we wish to go Incognito from the eyes of our ISP,
Government, Websites and hackers, we turn on the Incognito or Private browsing
window, but is that good enough to hide form the world or do you need to up
your game? Well, firstly to answer that question, you can check our article on
Tech myths. So, obviously this is not good enough and most browsers these days
inform user that all incognito mode does is automatically delete browsing history,
disable sites from saving or redeeming cookies and not use your already signed in
accounts.
There is a good
chance that most of us know that already, so what’s the next step. Well, the
perfect combination for going incognito is using a VPN and browsing privately
as it creates layers of protection. A VPN is a loophole between you and the
server. The definition of a VPN that is Virtual Private Networking is
connecting a private network to a public network to enable users on the private
network to send to and receive data from a shared or public network as if their
computing devices were directly connected to the private network. More on VPN’s
here. But, some VPN’s log their users data allegedly and there is no way around
if you subscribe to such a VPN provider.
The other route
you can take is of course, is using TOW browser. TOR is a browser aimed at
concealing one’s identity on the internet in a pioneering way. Tor is free
software for enabling anonymous communication. The name is derived from an
acronym for the original software project name "The Onion Router".
TOR is correctly named the Onion browser as it creates a shell of users,
meaning when you search something on TOR, it goes through several other users’
browsers in encrypted form and returns to you again in encryption. Yet there
are some loophole in TOR just like VPN. It stands between Incognito mode and
VPN.
But, for a
normal user TOR should be good enough as it combines the features on Incognito
mode and VPN in one place and makes it easier for the end-user or you average Joe.
One plus point about TOR is that it is a free browser unlike VPN’s where a subscription
is needed to take complete use. According to us, if you use a combination of
VPN and Incognito mode or just TOR browser, you are good to go. One more good
option is using Opera Browser for Windows as it also provides a free VPN
service but in our use we noticed that it only turn you browsing to Ukraine no
matter what place you select.
All the things
we talked above are obviously for good reason and need to be used by good
hands. For example, A VPN is handy when buying plane tickets as it overcomes
the Geographic borders and can help you save money. Similarly, Incognito mode
is also helpful when searching for hotels or transport as you can score some
good deals. We hope you don’t make wrong use of tfhis information and stay safe
on the internet and if you want to use TOR browser you can securely download it
