我们可以通过两种模式在谷歌浏览器上(Google Chrome)上网。(Internet)首先(First)，保存所有访问过的网站和网页的历史记录的正常模式，以提高您的活动速度。例如，只需在地址栏中输入您要访问的网站的首字母，之前访问过的网站就会由Chrome显示（建议），您可以直接访问，而无需再次输入网站的整个地址。 第二(Second)，不保存此类历史记录的隐身模式。所有登录的会话都会自动过期，并且不会保存 cookie 和浏览历史记录。
Chrome 中的隐身模式是什么？(What is the Incognito mode in Chrome?)
(Incognito Mode)Chrome中的(Chrome)隐身模式是一项隐私功能，浏览器在网络会话后不会保存任何浏览历史记录(browsing history)或cookie 。(cookies)隐私模式（也称为隐私浏览）为用户提供了保护其隐私的机会，以便以后无法使用监控工具来检索用户的数据。
使用隐身模式的优点：(Advantages Of Using Incognito Mode:)
用户隐私(Privacy Of The User)
隐身(Incognito)模式在您浏览互联网时为您提供隐私，尤其是在共享设备期间。即使您在地址栏或搜索引擎中写入URL ，您访问的网站也根本不会保存。即使您经常访问某个特定网站，它也永远不会出现在 Chrome 最常访问的网站中，既不会显示在搜索引擎中，也不会在您在地址栏中输入URL时自动完成。(URL)因此，它完全牢记您的隐私。
用户安全(Security Of The User)
一旦您关闭隐身窗口，在隐身(Incognito)模式下浏览期间创建的所有 cookie都会被删除。如果您正在做任何与业务相关的工作或不希望保存或跟踪数据的关键工作，这使得使用隐身模式成为一个不错的决定。事实上，如果您忘记退出任何帐户或服务，登录 cookie 将在您关闭隐身窗口时自动删除，防止任何恶意访问您的帐户。

一次使用多个会话(Using Multiple Sessions At One Time)
您可以使用隐身窗口登录任何网站上的其他帐户，而无需退出第一个帐户，因为Chrome中的普通窗口和隐身窗口之间不会共享 cookie 。因此，它将帮助您同时使用不同的服务。例如，如果您的朋友想要打开他的Gmail帐户，您可以让他在隐身窗口中打开他的帐户，而无需在普通窗口中退出您的个人Gmail帐户。
使用隐身模式的缺点：(Disadvantages of Using Incognito Mode:)
培养人们的坏习惯(Foster Bad Habits In People)
隐身(Incognito)模式还可以促进人们尤其是成年人的不良习惯。人们可以自由地观看他们原本不敢在普通窗口中观看的内容。他们漫无目的地开始浏览可能包含不法行为的网站。人们可能会养成每天观看这些毫无成效的东西的习惯。如果孩子们在笔记本电脑周围上网(Internet)，您有责任不要让他们使用 Chrome 的隐身(Incognito)窗口匿名浏览(Chrome)。
它可以被追踪(It can be tracked)
隐身模式不会阻止跟踪器跟踪您。仍然有一些网站关注您，尤其是广告商，他们想寻找所有信息，为您提供最合适的广告。他们通过在您的浏览器中植入跟踪 cookie来做到这一点。(tracking cookies)因此，您不能说隐身模式是 100% 私密且安全的。
扩展可以寻求信息(Extensions can seek information)
当您启动隐私浏览(private browsing)会话时，请确保在隐身(Incognito)模式下只允许基本扩展。这是因为许多扩展程序可以在隐身(Incognito)窗口中跟踪甚至存储用户的数据。因此，为了避免这种情况，您可以在Google Chrome中禁用隐身模式。
您想禁用Chrome中的(Chrome)隐身(Incognito)模式可能有很多原因，例如父母希望使用浏览历史记录跟踪孩子的数据，以便他们不会观看任何不良内容，公司还可以禁用隐私浏览以保护任何隐私员工以隐身模式访问。

如何禁用谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)的隐身模式(Incognito Mode)？
有两种方法可以在Chrome中禁用隐身模式，第一种是使用非常技术性的注册表编辑器(Registry Editor)，另一种是使用非常直接的命令提示符。(Command Prompt)此外，在某些设备上，您可能没有禁用隐私浏览模式所需的注册表值或键，在这种情况下，您还可以使用更简单的第二种方法。
方法 1：使用注册表编辑器(Registry Editor)禁用隐身模式(Incognito Mode)
让我们从使用注册表(Registry)编辑器禁用隐身窗口所需的步骤开始：
1. 按Windows Key+R打开运行(Run)。在“运行”窗口中键入“ Regedit ”，然后按“(Regedit)确定(OK)” 。
2. 现在，“用户帐户控制(User Account Control)”提示将询问您的许可。单击(Click)是(Yes)。 _
3. 在注册表编辑器中，导航到或复制粘贴以下路径，然后按Enter。
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies
注意：(Note:)如果您在 Policies 文件夹下看到Google和Chrome文件夹，请继续执行步骤 7，否则请按照以下步骤操作。(Chrome)
4. 如果Policies(Policies)文件夹下没有Google 文件夹，您可以通过(Google folder)右键单击(right-clicking) Policies文件(Policies)夹轻松创建一个，然后导航到New然后选择Key。将新创建的密钥命名为“ Google ”。
5. 接下来，右键单击您刚刚创建的Google文件夹并导航到新建(New)，然后选择密钥。(Key.)将此新密钥命名为“ Chrome ”。
6. 再次右键单击Google下的(Google)Chrome键，然后导航到新建(New)，然后选择“ DWORD (32-bit) Value ”。将此 DWORD 重命名为IncognitoModeAvailability并按 Enter。
7. 接下来，您必须为键分配一个值。双击IncognitoModeAvailability 键或右键单击该键并选择修改。(Modify.)
8. 将出现如下所示的弹出框。在值数据字段下，将值更改为 1( change the value to 1)，然后单击确定。
值 1：在 Google Chrome 中禁用隐身模式(Google Chrome)值(Incognito Mode)
0：在Google Chrome中启用(Google Chrome)隐身模式(Incognito Mode)
9. 最后，退出注册表编辑器(Registry Editor)。如果Chrome正在运行，则重新启动它，或者从开始菜单(Start Menu)搜索启动Chrome 。
10. 瞧！您将无法在Chrome的三点菜单下看到“新建隐身(Incognito)窗口”选项。此外，隐身(Incognito)窗口的快捷键Ctrl+Shift+N将不再起作用，这意味着Chrome中的(Chrome)隐身(Incognito)模式最终被禁用。

方法 3：在Mac上的Chrome中禁用隐身模式(Incognito Mode)
1. 从Finder下的 Go 菜单中，单击Utilities。
2. 在实用程序下，找到并打开终端应用程序。(Terminal app.)
3. 在终端(Terminal)中键入以下命令并按Enter：
defaults write com.google.chrome IncognitoModeAvailability -integer 1z
4.就是这样，一旦你成功执行上述命令，Chrome上的隐身窗口将被禁用。
方法 4：在Android上禁用Chrome 隐身模式(Chrome Incognito Mode)
在Android(Android)上禁用Chrome隐身模式与在计算机上略有不同，因为您无法在Android 手机上使用命令或(Android Phone)注册表编辑器(Registry Editor)。所以解决方法是使用第三方应用来屏蔽谷歌浏览器的(Google Chrome)隐身(Incognito)模式。
1.在Android 手机上启动(Android Phone)Google Play Store应用程序。
2. 在搜索栏中，输入Incoquito 并安装(install the Incoquito)Lemino Labs Developer 的 Incoquito 应用程序。
注意：(Note:)这是一个付费应用程序，您需要购买它。但如果您改变主意，那么根据Google Refund Policy，您可以在前两个小时内要求退款。
3. 安装完成后，打开应用程序。您需要授予该应用程序的权限，因此请单击继续。(Continue.)
4. 给予必要的许可后，打开( turn on the toggle)Incoquito旁边右上角的切换按钮。
5. 启用切换后，您需要在以下选项中选择一种模式：
- 自动关闭 - 屏幕关闭时自动关闭隐身标签。
- 防止(Prevent)- 这将禁用隐身标签，这意味着没有人可以访问它。
- 监控(Monitor)- 在此模式下，可以访问隐身选项卡，但会保留历史、事件和活动的日志。
6. 但由于我们希望禁用隐身模式，您需要选择阻止( Prevent)选项。
现在打开Chrome，在Chrome菜单中，新的隐身(New Incognito)标签将不再可见，这意味着您已成功禁用Android上的(Android)Chrome 隐身(Chrome Incognito)模式。
希望您能够使用上述方法在 Google Chrome 中禁用隐身模式，(disable the incognito mode in Google Chrome)但如果您对本教程仍有任何疑问，请随时在评论部分询问。
How to Disable Incognito Mode in Google Chrome?
We can surf thе Internet on Google Chrome in two modes. Fіrst, the normal mode in which all the hіstory of the websites and webpages visited is saved for ameliorating the speed of your activities. For example, just by typing thе initials of the website whiсh yоu want to visit in the address bar, thе preνiously visitеd sites are shown by Chrome (suggestions) whiсh you can directly access without typing the whole address of the websitе again. Seсond, the incognito mode in which no such history is ѕaved. All the logged in sessions are autоmaticallу expired and the cookies & browsing history are not saved.
What is the Incognito mode in Chrome?
Incognito Mode in Chrome is a privacy feature where the browser doesn’t save any browsing history or cookies after a web session. The privacy mode (also called private browsing) offers users a chance to preserve their privacy so that monitoring tools can’t be used to retrieve user’s data at a later date.
Advantages Of Using Incognito Mode:
Privacy Of The User
Incognito mode gives you privacy when you browse the internet, especially during shared devices. The websites you visit are not at all saved even if you write the URL in the address bar or in the search engine. Even if you visit a particular website frequently, then also it will never appear in the Chrome’s most frequently visited website, neither will it show in the search engine nor will it automatically complete when you type the URL into the address bar. So, it completely keeps in mind your privacy.
Security Of The User
All the cookies created during the browsing in Incognito mode are deleted as soon as you close the incognito window. This makes using incognito mode a good decision if you are doing any business-related work or something critical where you don’t want your data to saved or tracked. In fact, if you forget to sign out any account or service, the sign-in cookie will automatically be deleted as soon as you close the incognito window, preventing any malicious access to your account.

Using Multiple Sessions At One Time
You can use the incognito window to log in to some other account on any website without logging out of the first one because cookies are not shared between normal and incognito windows in Chrome. So it will help you to use different services at the same time. For example, if your friend wants to open his Gmail account, you can enable him to open his account in the incognito window without signing out of your personal Gmail account in a normal window.
Disadvantages of Using Incognito Mode:
Foster Bad Habits In People
Incognito mode can also promote bad habits in people especially adults. People get the freedom to watch stuff they could have never dared to watch in the normal window. They aimlessly start browsing websites which may include nefarious actions. People may make it their habit to watch such stuff daily which is not at all productive. And if kids are around the laptop having Internet, it is your responsibility that they do not browse anonymously using the Incognito window of Chrome.
It can be tracked
The incognito mode does not stop the trackers from tracking you. There are still some sites which have an eye on you especially the advertisers who want to seek all the information to provide you with the most suitable advertisement. They do this through planting tracking cookies in your browser. So, you cannot say that incognito mode is 100% private and secure.
Extensions can seek information
When you start the private browsing session make sure that only the essential extensions are allowed in Incognito mode. This is because many extensions can track or even stored user’s data in the Incognito window. So in order to avoid this, you can disable the incognito mode in Google Chrome.
There can any numerous reasons for which you want to disable the Incognito mode in Chrome such as parents want to track their kid’s data using browsing history so that they do not watch any bad stuff, companies can also disable private browsing in order to secure any private access by the employee in incognito mode.
