How to Start Google Chrome in Incognito by Default
What is Incognito Mode?
The point of incognito mode is not to hide your identity from the rest of the world, it’s to hide your interactions with the internet from the PC you’re using (and the Google account you’re logged into).
When you use incognito mode, Chrome doesn’t record any history or cookies, and it disables browser extensions. This means that third party services like Facebook, Google, etc that use cookies to track your movement across the internet to serve you better ads won’t follow you to the incognito tab.
Due to these reasons, incognito mode is generally safer when making banking transactions or having conversations you don’t want to be recorded on your PC.
When cookies and extensions are disabled, the chances of a malicious app stealing your data are largely reduced.
If you use Gmail, Google Search and an Android phone, you know just how obsessive Google’s tracking is. Google Now on your phone will follow up on something you searched for on a computer that one time. Incognito mode prevents such encounters.
