How to disable incognito mode in Yandex Browser
The Yandex browser supports the popular incognito mode, which allows users to hide all the information that accumulates while browsing web pages.
This includes browsing history, passwords, cookies, page data, and information provided in forms. At the same time, automatic launch in incognito mode can greatly hinder the user if he needs to open a recently viewed page or enter a forgotten password. If you are faced with the fact that automatic mode interferes with your surfing the Internet, then read on.
We will figure out how to disable incognito mode in the Yandex browser using a variety of methods.
Exiting incognito mode in Google Chrome: how to disable
To work in incognito mode, when you need to browse the Internet hidden, you need to open a window in private mode.
In incognito mode, all web pages you open, as well as downloaded files, will not be recorded in your browsing and download history. All new cookies will be deleted after closing the private windows. While changes made to general settings and bookmarks opened in this mode are saved
What remains after working with the Google Chrome browser in incognito mode?
When a user enables incognito mode in Google Chrome, it automatically switches to confidential use and the following data will not be recorded on the browser memory and memory:
- Site visit history;
- Cookies auto-fill forms and passwords;
- Completely clear cache memory that was loaded during incognito mode.
It cannot be said that using incognito in the Google Chrome browser will completely make your actions invisible to external sites, search engines and your ISP.
How best to hide your data and be unnoticed by everyone
Here are some practical tips for those who do not want others to see their actions:
- Firstly, it should be said that you cannot hide from the provider. That is, your provider will see outgoing and incoming traffic in the Google Chrome browser in any case and no “incognito” mode will help;
- The next valid option is to use incognito mode in the Chrome browser from Google;
- You can install a special utility to change the IP address, because some sites will not be able to open your geolocation after this;
- To prevent search engines from remembering your queries and using them for contextual advertising and statistics selection, use less advanced search engines, such as Bing, DuckDuckGo or Nigma. They do not remember queries and do not have a strong trading platform, but they search for information no worse than the popular Google and Yandex searches;
- Try not to register unnecessarily and not to give your real email address - this will prevent them from sending you spam emails and not transferring your data to other services.
How to log out of incognito on Google Chrome
The Google Chrome browser is very popular and covers a very wide range of platforms and operating systems. These include mobile Android, iOS, and a personal computer.
Each browser on these platforms has an incognito feature, and disabling it is very easy. For any platform, to close incognito mode you just need to restart the browser and then the incognito mode will disappear, and all data that was used during operation will be deleted.
A slightly different way of complete and high-quality anonymity
The maximum possible level of anonymity can be achieved by using other search engines that are less popular.
Another way to protect your data is to switch to browsers that use anonymous networks when working with them. Of course, we do not recommend using them all the time, because... The functionality and network speed in them is much worse than the Google Chrome browser. But for your anonymous purposes, using such browsers is very practical.
On the computer
There are two ways to get rid of confidential mode:
- closing a tab;
- Disable automatic incognito launch.
Let's look at the example below how it all works.
Close tab
If you used incognito mode in the Yandex browser, then most likely you have opened a new tab containing the following information:
Thus, to exit the secret mode, simply use the browser's close function. To do this, click on the cross in the upper right corner of your web browser.
Remove automatic incognito mode
If you have activated automatic incognito mode in the Yandex browser, then most likely you have a special code registered in the shortcut properties. To disable auto-incognito mode, just delete the entered code.
- Go to the properties of the Yandex browser by right-clicking on the shortcut.
- In the window that opens, go to the “Shortcut” section, and then remove the “-private” entry from the “Object” line.
Then click on the "OK" button and open your browser. Enter the "-private" entry again if you want to return the browser's hidden mode
On Android
If on a computer incognito mode opens for all pages that will be launched next, then on a phone everything works a little differently. Only one tab opens, in which all secret actions take place.
Therefore, to exit hidden mode, just close an already open tab. To do this, in the Yandex browser, click on the icon to display all open tabs.
Then click on the “cross” located in the upper right corner of the hidden tab.
This will close the tab, and with it the confidential mode. To return to incognito mode back, use the “Incognito tab” function again.
How safe is incognito mode in Yandex browser?
A rather interesting feature in Yandex Browser is incognito mode. Although if you conduct a couple of tests, you can understand that this does not guarantee complete anonymity and safety of personal data. Since sites also continue to receive information about your IP address, search metrics also track all your actions on the pages. The provider also stores your entire history of visiting websites. However, this browser tool is quite suitable so as not to leave information locally, on a specific machine. For example, you are using someone else’s computer and do not want to leave behind traces of your visit or any passwords. Because then it’s quite tedious to clean everything. And then I just closed the browser and didn’t seem to be using it.
Remember that this saves bookmarks and downloaded files.

What is it and why is it used?
Let's start our review by explaining what Incognito mode is in Yandex. Browser. Incognito is a way of browsing the Internet that allows you to hide from prying eyes:
- Search queries;
- Browsing history.
When using this mode the following are not saved:
- Passwords;
- Autofill data;
- Addresses of visited resources.
However, the following information will remain on the device:
- Created bookmarks;
- Changes made to settings;
- Uploaded files.
If you want to launch such a mode, no one will know what you did during your computer session. However, be careful - you will not become invisible:

Let's figure out how to enter the mode and how to disable Incognito mode in Yandex. Browser - believe me, the instructions given are available to every user.
Incognito in Yandex browser: how to disable
Today, almost every person has the skills to use a computer.
Therefore, in frequent cases, several people use one computer at once. Accordingly, in this way you can easily track website traffic and read the history that is saved in the browser. Any search engine and provider collects information from any user automatically.
Many users do not want to save current sessions. Therefore, in this case, professionals recommend using a plugin, an anonymizer. For example, programs such as Zenmate, Frigate and others built into the Yandex browser can maintain confidentiality and not display entries. Many people often confuse stealth mode with the actions of a proxy server. In this case, the IP address remains the same. The location is considered unchanged and the system fixes the geographic filter.
Basically, users think that this function allows them to be invisible on social networks, VKontakte, Facebook, etc.
However, this mode only stops the process of collecting information about user traffic to various sites. Portals you visit will no longer appear in your browser history. When entered, the search query will not be saved in the system; accordingly, this factor will not affect the appearance of contextual advertising.
Enabling incognito mode
A specially designed mode allows users to remain invisible when entering phrases in search engines. To enable this mode, certain steps must be taken. First of all, you should launch the Yandex browser and open the control panel. This program is displayed at the top of the window.
After completing the steps, a menu with the “Advanced” option should appear in the window. And the expanded list will prompt you to click on the “Open a new window in incognito mode” button. An alternative way is to use the following key combination: Control + Shift + N. Thanks to this combination, you can perform the action in any language, regardless of the activation of the CapsLock keys.
As soon as the action is completed, Yandex browser will not save entries, images, inputs, documents and other elements. Each file opened in a specific window will be destroyed automatically. Therefore, by logging into another portal during the shutdown process, the account will be completely erased.
Information with downloaded files will disappear. Invisibility mode allows you to be incognito not only for the Yandex browser, but also for other systems. If you need to use a search engine where the entered contextual advertising will not be displayed, then you should immediately use this service. A reliable system will allow you to avoid unnecessary questions. After all, strangers often control the entries that are displayed in the search engine. Now, you can solve the problem very easily and simply.
Ordinary Internet users can freely use anonymity and not be afraid of their actions. Since on social networks, many users use other names and hide their identity. Therefore, incognito mode will help in resolving the problem.
Instead of real photos, some put various avatars that cannot be carefully seen. By hiding their activities on a social network, users will feel more relaxed. To hide some information, previously you had to delete the cache and use programs. But now, the incognito mode that modern browsers have will help in protecting confidential data.
What does incognito mode mean?
First, let's answer the question: What is incognito mode in a browser?
Incognito is a special mode that does not save your query history or list of visited sites. This information is taken into account by the browser to display advertising on the sites you visit and to generate the Zen feed in the Yandex browser.
The differences between opening such a tab and a tab opened in the usual way are as follows:
1. All queries entered into the search bar will not be saved. 2. The browser does not remember the history of sites you have visited. If you are interested in how to clear history in the Yandex browser, read the article by following the link. 3. Passwords that you enter when logging in to websites and social networks, and all data when autofilling are not saved. That is, if the password for the site is saved in the browser and you usually go to your profile right away, then in this case you will need to enter the password again. 4. Listened audio recordings or watched videos are not added to the cache. 5. Bookmarks that have been made will be saved. 6. All downloaded files are saved to the computer. 7. The web browser settings that you changed are saved. 8. All add-ons included in Yandex will not work (the necessary add-ons can be enabled manually). 9. After closing such a tab, all cookies will be deleted.
What is anonymous mode
This mode is also called incognito - this is a special way of operating the Yandex browser, in which search histories, a list of visited sites and resource cookies are not saved. By default, search engines and the browser take into account human actions to generate the most relevant information and advertising in the Zen feed or search results.
The fundamental differences between a tab in incognito mode and a standard page:
- Yandex browser does not save queries entered into the search, but the developers do not guarantee that the data will be ignored by search engines;
- The browser does not make entries in the browsing history; it displays the most recently viewed sites in standard mode;
- Website login information is not saved. After switching to anonymous mode, resources will identify the user as a guest, even if they have an active account in normal mode. The Yandex browser does not show data for autofill, and all entered passwords in incognito will be reset after closing the page;
- The caching function is deactivated, usually it helps not to download video and audio again, the information is taken from the browser storage;
- The bookmarking feature works;
- Changes to web browser settings remain in effect in all modes;
- By default, Yandex Browser disables all extensions; the behavior can be changed manually;
- All cookies are cleared after closing the tab.
How to open this mode
Now let's look at how to access a website in the Yandex browser in incognito mode.
The normal page for creating a new tab looks like this:
To go to the window we need, click on the three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner and select “Incognito Mode” from the list.
This will open a new browser window. The fact that you are working incognito in it will be clear from the icon with glasses, which is located in the upper right corner of the page.
You can open such a window using hotkeys – Ctrl+Shift+N.
If you are on a website, then the page looks like this:
Opening a page in incognito mode is no different. The only difference is that it will open in a new window and there will be an icon with glasses at the top right.
If you are browsing the site in normal mode and, by clicking on a link, want to go to another page anonymously, then right-click on the link and select “Open link in Incognito mode” from the menu.
mobile version
Let's look at the features of enabling Incognito mode using Yandex Browser for iOS as an example. The procedure is not complicated, but has several distinctive features:
- Open a new application tab.
- Tap on the menu icon.
- In the drop-down lower curtain, select the item "Incognito tab" (image of mask).
The user interface changes to black, and a message appears on the start page about activating a special browser operation. There is also a button that deactivates this functionality.
For Android OS, the procedure is no different, and the developers have done everything to simplify access to the main features of their brainchild.
Yandex browser add-ons in incognito mode
If you have many extensions installed and some of them you use frequently, then for convenience, you can make them work no matter how you view the pages.
First, let's open the page with additions. Click on the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner and select "Add-ons" from the list.
Find the extension you want to work with while on the page anonymously, and click the “More details” button under its description. Then check the “Allow use in Incognito mode” checkbox.
Now on the Yandex browser page opened incognito, either an extension icon will appear on the right in the address bar, or an additional item in the context menu.
How to exit incognito mode?
You shouldn’t have any problems with how to remove incognito mode in Yandex.Browser or Google Chrome. Here is a tip that is universal for all browsers:
Just close the private window and the incognito mode will disappear!
Here I could give a sea of screenshots, in which I would point with an arrow to the red cross in the upper right corner - but I will not do this, because I believe that you, my friend, are able to close the browser window yourself. If incognito doesn’t disappear after clicking on the cross, I guess you’re using Explorer or Firefox. These browsers can be configured to automatically switch to private mode, which allows you to avoid saving your history. You'll have to tinker with the settings - you can find out what exactly you need to do from the articles on Explorer and Mozilla.
It just seems to me that you, my friend, are looking for other answers and want to disable incognito for good - that is, so that it would be impossible to launch it at all.
A typical situation: someone in the family has gotten into the habit of “covering their tracks” and erasing history, and you suspect that perhaps the son is addicted to watching “18+” content or the wife is communicating with members of the opposite sex on topics for which private is a must-have.
In such a situation, simply closing the window will not help - but by completely disabling incognito you will confuse the suspect and, probably, even bring him out into the open. I know of only 2 ways to completely deactivate private mode.
