Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome to part eight of our special butterscotch.com 10-part series on Google Chrome. Now in this segment, I'm going to take a brief look at Google Chrome’s Incognito Mode. So with Chrome opened, I'm going to click on the wrench icon, move the mouse down to new incognito window. And you see this new window comes up. It’s got a different color. It’s got a shady little fellow with sunglasses and a hat on in the corner and it tells you quite clearly right here that on this page, not the original one that you created it from but on this page, our incognito. So, the pages you view on this page don’t appear in your browser history or your search history. They don’ leave traces like cookies. And when you close them, everything is gone. However, if you download files or create bookmarks, they will be preserved.
So, to give you an example so you can see I'm going to take you to a site we haven’t gone to before. I’ll go to one of my websites, drff.com. Now, to give you an example, I'm going to bookmark this page, say Close. Now, I'm going to close the Incognito window. Now, I'm back here in my original browser. If I click here and look at the history, recently closed tabs, you don’t see drff.com at all, but because I bookmarked it, you do see the bookmark. So, it should be very clear that in Incognito Mode, you can go to pages and it will not keep the history. It will not keep cookies. It will not keep the URLs in the browser once you’ve closed the incognito Mode but if you make any bookmarks or download any files, those will be preserved. So, that’s Incognito Mode and that concludes part eight.
