Incognito mode

Incognito mode allows you to keep your search queries and browsing secret. Yandex Browser for Mobile will not save passwords and autofill data, search queries, addresses of visited pages, or browser and editor history. But all changes to settings, downloaded files, and bookmarks are saved.

Alert

Incognito mode doesn't make you invisible. For example, if you log in on a social network, other people will see you're online. It also doesn't protect your smartphone from viruses.

Tabs opened in Incognito mode are not synchronized with other devices.
