Using Incognito Mode on Chrome

Written by Laura Ruiz

What is an Incognito Mode

Incognito mode is an internet browsing mode in which your web browser automatically deletes your browsing history and cookies at the end of a session.

Incognito mode is a helpful feature that allows you to quickly move between a personalized version of your web browser and a more impersonal version. Here’s when to use it.

When you use a browser, like Chrome, it saves information from websites in its cache and cookies. If you’re facing any sort of trouble on Forum like logging in, uploading a file, or when you click on a button, it does not work. Clearing cache & cookies fixes specific problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites.

How to use incognito mode

To open an incognito window in Google Chrome on a computer:

  1. Open the Chrome browser app.

  2. In the upper right corner, select the more button (three dots), then choose New Incognito Window. Your browser will automatically open a new incognito window with the incognito icon (glasses and a hat) in the top right corner.

  3. Alternatively, on the menu bar, select File > New Incognito Window.

  4. You can also use a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + n on Windows or ⌘ + Shift + n on Mac.

  5. Log into https://forum.minervaproject.com/app with your username/password and perform the same action which initially did not work.
