Incognito mode doesn't mean invisible. Here's what it really does:

✅ No local history saved
✅ No cookies or form data kept
✅ Good for logging into multiple accounts

❌ Doesn't hide your IP
❌ Doesn't stop tracking by websites
❌ Doesn't protect from your ISP or employer

Using privacy extensions? Ironically, they can make your browser more unique — and easier to fingerprint.
A large part of privacy is about blending in, not standing out.

Using a VPN? That’s a great start—but not a privacy magic wand. 🧙‍♂️

Logging into Google (Gmail, Drive, etc.) while on the same VPN you use for anonymous activity can link your identities.

Google tracks IPs, logins, and devices. Stay sharp. Stay separate.

Think your encrypted email keeps you private?

Not quite. Metadata still reveals:
📧 Who you talk to
🕒 When you talk
📌 Often, what it’s about
🌐 Where it’s from
📦 How big it is
That’s all surveillance needs to profile you. Encryption ≠ invisibility.
