Friends who love learning so much will not have used the browser's traceless/invisible mode , right?
Whether it is traceless or invisible, this name sounds very High sense of security .
Late at night, people open the browser and enjoy the happy time alone.
This mode will not retain history, search box form information, Cookies and other data.
"Now, you can browse privately", as if no one really knows it.
But if you really think so, you will be deceived by this black villain.
In fact, it cannot be traceless. Invisible is just running naked with your eyes closed.
Let’s first look at the traceless mode What does not save :
browsing history cookies and information filled in the website data form
browsing history and form information are easy to understand.
The next time you open the browser, you will not see the page you have visited in traceless mode, nor will you see what you have searched for or logged in to any account.
Cookie is the identity credential generated by the based on user equipment, browser information, etc.
will be saved to the local area in normal mode. Whenever you interact with the website, both parties will show cookies to confirm their identity.
It is used to maintain login status , provide personalized services, etc.
and traceless mode does not mean that cookies are not saved, but only when you close the browser automatically clears , otherwise you need to log in every refresh.
is obviously "not saved". It is actually not safe. It is also just not saved on your own computer .
even determines that it needs to be temporarily saved locally at least.
And all your traces on the Internet are still revealed in the layers of routers, operators, and servers.
As for the so-called blocking of third-party cookies, it can only block part Cookie type.
After the EU GDPR regulations are launched, many websites will ask you whether you allow and which cookies are allowed. The traceless mode is unnecessary.
At the same time, the traceless mode is also will not perform additional encryption .
It cannot resist network and virus attacks. When encountering malicious programs, Trojan , there is no difference between it and in normal mode.
slight difference is that in the traceless mode, the browser extension plug-in will not load automatically by default, and you will have a pure browser.
Therefore, Xiaosan thinks Clean Mode Clean Mode is more appropriate than incognito Mode traceless/invisible mode.
Let’s summarize: The traceless mode only has no trace to itself.
Damn! I've been cheated by the browser for so many years!
Actually Google has already made a prompt when you enter traceless mode.
All layers of routes, operators, and servers can see your activities.
Just the word and description are written quite subtle . With the dark interface style and icons, users are really prone to misunderstandings.
As early as 2018, the Google engineer complained that the traceless mode is not really traceless.
Recently, Google will also face a class action lawsuit for privacy violations of because of the traceless mode.
For this privacy lawsuit, Google is basically bleeding again.
Bloomberg talked with a Google engineer and mentioned that Google will need to change the traceless/invisible/privacy mode name and icon to avoid continuing to mislead users.
It seems that it won’t take long, and the traceless mode will exit the stage of history.
But don’t worry, there will be "clean mode" and other things to replace them.
In short, remember that this mode is only useful to yourself and cannot prevent others.
