Use Incognito mode in Chrome when you would like to search the un-"filtered" Google.


Irony: Use of a Google product to circumvent Google's lack of privacy or anonymity in one of their other products.


Unless I'm mistaken, Incognito mode simply disables local history recording, and has not much (if at all) to do with search results or the ability for Google to track your movements.

I suggest Chromium for the paranoid!


Incognito mode isn't just disabled history recording. It does not use any of your cookies from main session, and it deletes the cookies when it is closed. It also isolates your extensions from running incognito unless you elect for them to be.
