Avoid Tracking with:
"Incognito mode" (aka Private Window in Firefox and Private Browsing in Safari).
When you go Incognito, your browser doesn't keep track of browsing history, nor will it store any browsing cookies. It's a good option when browsing for things you might not want the world to know about, such as that holiday gift shopping.
To open an incognito window in Chrome, click the stacked three-dot icon on the top-right of the browser and select "New incognito window." On mobile, tap the three-dot icon on the bottom-right (iOS) or top-right (Android) and select "New incognito tab."
We should note that Incognito mode will not block your behavior from being monitored by work or by the websites you visit (they can still log your IP address).
