Incognito mode is a private browsing feature in Chrome that prevents the browser from saving browsing history, search history, temporary files, and cookies. It can be useful to access an incognito window if the course environment is not functioning normally. This is due to the fact that incognito windows do not use cached files or cookies stored in the browser, which can be a potential source of issues. It can also be useful if you simply wish to browse the web privately.
To open an incognito window in Chrome, take the following steps:
- Open Google Chrome on your device.
- Click on the three-dotted icon in the upper-right corner of the window.
- Select New Incognito Window from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Shift + N (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows).
