"Quick Question: Does Incognito Change Your IP Address or Not?"
Hey everyone! So I’ve been hearing mixed things about incognito mode and whether it actually hides your IP. Like, does incognito change your ip address or is it just for clearing cookies and history?
From what I’ve read, incognito mode *doesn’t* change your IP at all. It just stops your browser from saving history, cookies, etc. on *your* device. But your ISP, websites, and anyone snooping can still see your real IP.
Kinda misleading, right? If you wanna hide your IP, you’d need a VPN or proxy.
Anyone else confused about this before? Or am I just late to the party lol?
(Also, sorry for any typos—typing this on my phone!)
