Incognito mode / private mode prevents your browser from storing browsing data, so that it can't be retrieved later. This means that your searches, visited pages, login details and cookies will not be saved on the device after you close your private windows. This is especially important if you are using a shared device for whistleblowing reporting.
Below are instructions on how to enable incognito mode / private mode on some of the most common browsers that Falcony supports. Full list of supported browsers found here.
