How To Turn On Incognito Mode In UC Browser

Ever since Incognito Mode (or Private Browsing) was introduced in our browsers, the way we browse the internet has changed significantly.

Going Incognito means that your browser won’t save the browsing history, cookies, temporary files or other site data.

The earliest reference to Incognito Mode was in May 2005 and as the time passed almost all the browsers introduced Incognito Mode or Private Browsing in their browsers. Gradually, this feature also passed on to mobile web browsers. As a result, almost all of the web browsers available on Android or iOS, today, has Incognito Mode feature in it.
