no one can know what I do online.
00:00:11
False.
00:00:12
Private browsing only erases your tracks on your device.
00:00:16
History,
00:00:16
cookies,
00:00:17
credentials,
00:00:18
but the sites you visit,
00:00:19
your internet service provider,
00:00:21
your employer,
00:00:22
if you are on a professional network or online services can still see your activity.
00:00:27
You are not invisible,
00:00:28
just a bit more discreet locally.
00:00:31
Does private browsing also protect me against viruses and spyware?
00:00:35
False.
00:00:36
This mode does not block viruses,
00:00:39
malware,
00:00:39
or phishing attempts.
00:00:41
You can get caught in private browsing just like in normal browsing.
00:00:45
It's just a mode that does not save your activity in your browser's history.
00:00:49
Security still depends on your behavior
00:00:52
and the protection tools you use.
00:00:54
My internet service provider or my employer can still see the sites I visit.
00:00:59
True.
00:01:00
Even in private browsing,
00:01:01
your traffic goes through your usual network.
00:01:03
Your service provider or company can therefore log the sites visited.
00:01:07
To avoid this,
00:01:08
you need to use specific tools like a virtual private network
00:01:11
that encrypts the data and masks this type of information.
00:01:14
But private browsing alone is not enough.
00:01:17
So no,
00:01:18
private browsing does not make you anonymous.
00:01:20
It just deletes the visible traces on your browser.
