Stop Using Incognito Mode (Here's Why)

Описание: Think that "hat and glasses" icon makes you invisible? Think again. 🕵️‍♂️🚫

Most people believe Incognito Mode (or Private Browsing) hides their activity from everyone. The truth is, it only hides your history from your own computer. In this video, I break down the technical reality of how the internet works and explain exactly what your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your school/office Wi-Fi admin, and websites can still see—even when you go "Incognito."

As a Computer Science student, I want to help you understand the difference between Local Privacy (your browser history) and Network Privacy (what travels through the wire). We’ll dive into DNS queries, IP addresses, and why HTTPS doesn't hide everything.

In this video, you will learn:

❌ Why Incognito Mode is NOT a VPN.

📡 How DNS queries expose the websites you visit to your ISP.

🔒 The difference between "hiding your history" and "hiding your traffic."

🍪 How websites still track you using "Fingerprinting" (even without cookies).
