What is a Private Browser Window?

To browse privately, you can switch your browser to Incognito Mode. This protects your data. An Incognito window is also important for testing various internet and software programs. For example, when testing a registration process or generally viewing areas from the perspective of an end-user.

While this would also work in a normal window, you are usually already logged into the software in the same window, which leads to different views. That's why we recommend using a private window. Here are instructions for different browsers on how to enter Incognito Mode.
