    Andy was 16 roughly in 2004 (he celebrated his 6th bday in 1995 when he got Buzz). Chrome, that popularized Incognito Mode hasn’t been released until 2008.

    Back in the day we just had an extra browser where we always cleared all history after usage (was Opera for me).

      Safari introduced private browsing in 2005.

      Granted, Chrome eventually innovated by coming up with a catchier name.

      I was too dumb for any contingencies so I would have porn image files all over the desktop and browser history. There were some traumatizing moments

        Phht. I just downloaded porn on kazaa and limewire, which invariably ended up being a virus, and then my dad yelled at me asking why the the browser kept trying to go to “Britney spears sucks dick” websites and I got banned from the computer for months

        I saved my porn images, which i curated over many disconnects thanks to incoming phone calls, deeply nested within some program folder. No one was gonna accidentally stumble on my great stash.

        I hid my spank bank inside game directories. At the time most of the textures for any game were image files so it was easy to hide them. I learned that those image files could be modified pretty easily. I used this to upload my entire spank bank as wallpapers in the Sims. I tried to change the character texture models for Vice City or GTA3 I can’t remember which, to reasonable some model I was obsessed with as a teenager to limited success.

    They watch in horror as, increasingly frustrated, he searches: “Jessie Bullseye”, “Jessie Horse”, “Jessie cowgirl horse”, “Jessie roundup horse”, “cowgirl redhead horsecock”

      Incognito is also great if you need to log in to something on someone else’s machine, or someone needs to log into something on your machine. As soon as the window closes you’re logged out.

      For example, I’ve used this to great effect in the past helping people find their cell phones. I open an incognito window, let them log into their Google or Apple account, then use the respective find phone tool.
