Some people may think that incognito mode can help them not to be traced, but that is not what incognito mode on browsers are. Incognito is just no leaving a trace of your browsing history on that your browser. Everything about it is traceable online. Your ISP can know the sites that you are visiting. Also the site that you are visiting can know a lot of information about you. If you want to have privacy while browsing, you will first need to use a better search engine like Duckduckgo and not using the ones like Google. Also using Tor and Orbot (on mobile) will be very important to connect online.
I never knew about this until now. I was thinking that deleting browsing history will suffice but never knew that it was never a way of erasing my digital footprint.

If I may ask, how do I get the browsers you mentioned? Pardon me if my question seem awkward, I'm new here and still doing a lot of learning.
