Browser Fingerprinting

Why Incognito Mode is Useless

By RecOsint | Dec 1, 2025

You think you are hidden? You blocked cookies. You turned on a VPN. But ads are still following you. Why? Because they aren't tracking your IP anymore. They are tracking YOU.

Websites silently scan your hardware to create a unique "Fingerprint" based on: Screen Resolution Installed Fonts Battery Status & Audio Hardware No login required. Your device is the ID.

"But I use Incognito Mode!" It doesn't matter.Incognito only deletes history locally. It does NOT change your screen size or hardware details. To a tracker, you look exactly the same in Private windows as you do in Normal ones.

Don't Hide, Blend In. You cannot "block" fingerprinting easily. You must look generic. Tor Browser: Forces all users to have the same window size and fonts. Mullvad Browser: Built specifically to defeat fingerprinting.

Privacy isn't about hiding in a corner; it's about being a Needle in a Haystack. Goal: Make your fingerprint look like everyone else's. Action: Test your browser today.
