Is incognito mode actually incognito?? #dataprivacy #cybersecurity

A short YouTube explainer by Caitlin (Kaylin) Sarian introducing what Incognito (private browsing) actually does and—importantly—what it does not hide. The presenter states that private browsing prevents local saving of browsing and search history on the device, but does not prevent leaving a digital footprint: downloads, bookmarks, IP address, logged-in accounts (e.g., Facebook/Instagram), ISPs, and workplace/school network admins can still see activity. The clip frames private browsing as a limited privacy tool and warns against using work/school devices for personal browsing.
