    Many of my friends find this window basically a ''porn browser''

    So I was wondering is this what everyone uses the window for, is there no other use ??

    Buying my wife presents.

    Ah, yes so when she would check the history or something she would not know, she would be surprised.

    No, they're right. It was solely built to hide your disgusting porn habits.

    God bless them for it, though!

    If you go to delete your history there's a yellow box that says "Psst, you may want to use the incognito window next time" Or something like that..... it's for porn. That's the main function.

    Exactly.

    I just can't find any good presents on youporn.

    Porn, multiple gmail/facebook accounts, browsing that I don't want to show up in history or in autofill searching from google, checking things on amazon that I don't want to get last viewed or recommended purchase options for just cos I checked the price of something stupid.

    the....what??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Take Your Pants Off


    I myself use it for youtube, I hate the way when you go on youtube and you have your g-mail account logged in you have an automatically youtube account logged in as well, so when I am looking up say something that others might find weird (such as types of songs) it stores the history on youtube and then shows up in recommended and in the top corner of your history section, so the only way is to log off my gmail account which comes quite annoying time to time

    For those that don't know what it is

    You've gone Incognito. Pages that you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close all open Incognito windows. Any files that you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.

    Going Incognito doesn't affect the behaviour of other people, servers or software. Be wary of:
    Websites that collect or share information about you
    Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
    Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smilies
    Surveillance by secret agents
    People standing behind you

    Only for porn. I have to have some trace of history of normal stuff or she gets suspicious.

    Exactly.

    I just can't find any good presents on youporn.

    That is funny because I can find loads, just can't find any that won't get fired back at my face..... and not in a good way

    I used it when I was home for Christmas. It meant that my parents account would still be logged in after I was done checking gmail, Facebook, etc.

    Translation: I stayed at the parents house over the Christmas (I moved away due to work years ago), I decided to knock one out for old times sake, didn't even have to bother going to the control panel to delete the browsing history after my ****.... Times have in fact changed

    Hand to gland combat on the GF's laptop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly


    Facebook and boards in work :D
    They copped on to misuse because browser history was always cleared so using incognito window solves that problem .. Normal browser open for work related stuff and incognito beside it for Facebook and boards!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Asking google simple questions that I'm embarrassed that I don't know!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    I don't use it.

    Why are so many guys here afraid of having their OH know they watch porn? Mine knows and she doesn't care.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    I honestly never use it, I've nothing to hide from the 2 people who might use my laptop, me and my oh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Jhcx


    Porn and reading about celebs and their stupidness. Or anything I know that can be shared on one of my many walls that I have automatically set up. Like when I read cnet that goes to twitter or YouTube to twitter and facebook. Sometimes I can just do without the hassle from friends
