Many people think turning on "Incognito Mode" (or Private Tab) makes them invisible to the world. 👻 Spoiler Alert: It doesn't. Let's clear up the confusion between Incognito and VPN.
🕶️ What Incognito Mode Actually Does
Incognito mode only hides your history from your own device.
✅ Your wife/parents can't see what you visited.
❌ Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) CAN see everything.
❌ The websites you visit CAN see your IP address.
🌍 What a VPN Actually Does
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) hides your activity from the outside world.
✅ It hides your IP address (Location).
✅ It encrypts your data so your ISP can't read it.
✅ It allows you to access blocked content.
