What Paul Tracey can say in an interview on
Incognito Web Browsing:

    • Incognito or private mode will keep your local browsing private, but it won’t stop your ISP, school, or employer from seeing where you’ve been online. In fact, your employer or school has access to all your browsing activity no matter what you do. 

    • Your ISP automatically routes traffic to their DNS servers even if you change it on your local machine.  Advanced networking is required to prevent this. 
    • Your Employer or school has access to your browsing history regardless of what you try to configure on your browser. The best practice is to never do anything that isn’t work- or school-related on those devices. 
    • Incognito mode keeps your browser history private on your browser, and that’s pretty much it. So if you are trying to buy a gift for your significant other without them seeing your history or preventing ads for the product, the incognito mode might be a good fit. But that is as far as its privacy goes.
