27. Things to be aware of Incognito Mode: http://www.google.com/goodtoknow/manage-data/incognito- mode/ Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you've visited. The websites you visit may still have records of your visit. Any files saved to your computer will still remain on your computer. For example, if you sign into your Google Account on http://www.google.com while in incognito mode, your subsequent web searches are recorded in your Google Web History. In this case, to prevent your searches from being stored in your Google Account, you'll need to pause your Google Web History tracking. Click and Clean: Extension that clears browser history and more!
