Incognito mode is a mode that allows you to use the internet without any history of your online ventures on the local computer. However, you cannot consider it safe. This is because the mode doesn’t protect your IP. When your IP is available it can be tracked and your computer as well as your personal identity is vulnerable to attack.

This means that you can be easily attacked by foreign hackers who can compromise your device. It is important to note this and not be lured by a false sense of security which can be hazardous to your device and yourself.
