Since I finally figured out how to do this, wondering if theres a downside to it, everything seems to be working fine, no tracking, no 3rd party cookies, etc. sounds like all good things, is there a catch?
Can Someone who is actually computer literate explain ? Thanks

Hey,

The catch is there is no security, and does not hide anything. The "no tracking" aspect is your device not saving information from sites visited. The sites you visit can still know who you are, and your internet provider still knows everything you do.

When you visit a site then cookies might be downloaded to your device, and your device tracks the sites you have visited and maybe login info.
Incognito mode starts a session on your device that after you are done with the session it will delete any cookies or history of sites visited off of your device. So, incognito mode is good for hiding things you have done on your device from other people that might use your device. It's also useful for using a different login for the same website.

Private Window Mode is the same as Incognito

It can't block it. It might give an unsafe file download, just go through the options to download. They can't completely block it without legal repercussions if I remember the anti trust stuff they got hit with before
