In almost all web browsers, you can find two different modes i.e. regular browsing mode and Incognito mode.

However, if you use Incognito Mode, you would not be able to store any browsing history at all.

Incognito Mode doesn’t store anything and this is why many people often opt for this when they need to hide their browsing history. Generally, websites track the user using cookies. But, if you use incognito mode, any website cannot track you as cookies get deleted when you close the browser window.
