How to private browse in Chrome on Windows, Android and ChromeOS

Google Chrome logo on desktop and mobile.

Private browsing entails surfing the web without storing information about your browsing sessions. During private browsing, your web history isn't saved, form data isn't recorded, and cookies are deleted immediately after you close the website window. It helps users safeguard their privacy online, especially when using shared computers.

However, private browsing doesn’t make one invisible online. Your internet service provider (ISP) and network operator can still track the sites you visit. If you need more robust protection, consider combining private browsing with additional tools, such as ad blockers and a virtual private network (VPN) service.
