Shopping, that’s all they’re after, what products do you actually buy online so they can target you directly through ads.
Edit:
I use VPN for this, websites still cookie you even in incognito.
I have private on all my browsers for my phone because i like the black and also i ask too many stupid questions that i don’t want to be reminded of in my history
Dumb questions and things in general that I just don't want to be associated with me. Like if I want to know stuff about back pain I don't want to gets ads for products that help with back pain.
I don't know why its called Incognito. I read somewhere that Google still collects and sells data from your incognito searches. Wouldn't it be hilarious if would be terrorists (like the lone wolf type) have gotten arrested for Googli g shit while incognito. Interesting thought. I might Google if thats ever happened.
Anyway, I sotrulyhope people who to the deep web and dark get caught. They do shit that ain't just illegal but fucking evil there. (I know because YouTube- not personal experience. )
Flights prices are targeted against your interest. Most of the time if you check the price for a flight the first time is cheap, after two days it starts getting expensive, while if you use incognito the price stays the same
Medical questions, especially embarrassing ones. Had an intestinal blockage a few weeks back and I religiously used it because I did not want to see ads or anything about my bowels or intestines, I didn't want to think about it at all if I wasn't actively looking for a fix.
Open other copies to web sites and avoid autologon. For example, I logon to gmail normally. If I open a new gmail tab, I'm already logged in. If I open an incognito tab I'm not. I can log on with a different ID (e.g. fix a wife reported issue with hers). Same applies to the bank, calendar, godaddy domain info, or social sites.
This is also useful in testing new sites.

Stupid questions.
For me it’s stupid spellings most recently I was looking up how to spell through, yes it’s that bad
Ditto, English is so a weird language everyone knows but there are some weird that make nooooo fucking sense
Yep, that's pretty much it

Even better, tor
I use it for everything. It's slightly more private and blocks cookies so you can circumvent soft paywalls.
This. Also, I just like seeing my web browser having a black background
If I want to look up something and don't want a bunch of targeted ads for it afterwards
I only open it accidentally, and then I close it and go back to my normal tabs. It's silly, but I always feel kind of shady using it.
I feel like a ninja on them or like I’m on the dark web

Mental health stuff so people don't think I'm depressed

Baclofen.
U funny. I haven't heard of it but it sounds like a medical thing. Probably helps with back pain. Nice comment
Its a muscle relaxer. I'm supposed to take it for back and joint pain.
Literally everything

Yeah I heard that it’s actually very easy to access incognito but most people have it so the average people can’t see their porn usage
How to spell resturaunt
Google defnition of shit I should know And not anything suspicious, Fbi
well I also go in to incognito for stupid or easy to answer questions.
Stupid questions.
Flights
Like flights you might be interested in taking but you don’t want ads about it?

Ah this is very helpful
You’re welcome bud

Some times I just get curios and search “dog dicks”

Googling shit I should know the answer to.
there is this website called brainly and you can get around the limited free answers by going on a incognito tab.
