Limitations of Chromebook Incognito Mode
When you visit a web page, Chrome automatically stores cookies and other data that help the page load faster the next time you visit it. In Incognito mode, such data doesn't get downloaded, so pages won't load faster upon repeat visits.
Chrome also won't remember any passwords or other information you provide to websites while in Incognito mode. It's also important to note that going incognito on Chromebook won't hide your internet activity from your internet service provider (ISP).

If you're using a work or school computer, then the system administrator may still be able to see your search history. Any websites you visit can still collect information from you in Incognito mode, and you're just as vulnerable to malware as you normally are.
It's possible to add accounts to a Chromebook so that each person who uses the laptop has their own bookmarks and other browser preferences saved separately.
How to Delete Browsing History on Chromebook
In addition to using Incognito mode, you can also delete your Chromebook history to hide your browsing activity or delete your private data for security. These are both great ways to ensure your private information doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
When you clear your Google Chrome browsing history, data will be deleted from all devices synced to your Google Account. Was this page helpful?
