Anything better than Incognito mode for real privacy?

[BaziKe]

Hey, so I've been using incognito mode for things like checking flight prices, but a friend told me it's not really that private. Is that true? What are the actual good alternatives if I want to browse without being tracked by sites or having my search history saved? Looking for something more robust for general use.

Think of incognito like a private room in a glass house your immediate activity isn't logged locally, but everyone outside can still watch. For real privacy, you need tools that change your digital fingerprint, like anti-tracking browsers or virtual profiles. The core idea is shifting from simple session isolation to active identity separation. A deep dive into the philosophy and technical options for a proper incognito mode alternative is covered in this detailed resource https://gologin.com/blog/incognito-mode-alternative/ .

Honestly, start with a reputable VPN and a privacy-focused browser like Brave or Firefox with strict tracking protection. That combo handles like 90% of casual privacy needs without being super technical to set up.
