Browse Without Saving History and Cookies – Incognito Mode (Private Browsing) in Chrome

For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Here’s how the incognito mode works:

• Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito aren’t recorded in your browsing and download histories.
• All new cookies are deleted after you close all incognito windows that you’ve opened.
• Changes made to your Google Chrome bookmarks and general settings while in incognito mode are always saved.

Tip: If you’re using Chrome OS, you can use the guest browsing feature as an alternative to incognito mode. When you are browsing as a guest, you can browse the web and download files as normal. Once you exit your guest session, all of your browsing information from the session is completely erased.

Open an incognito window

1. Click the wrench icon  on the browser toolbar.
2. Select New incognito window.

A new window will open with the  icon in the corner. You can continue browsing as normal in the other window.

You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS) and ⌘-Shift-N (Mac) to open an incognito window.[source]
