Windows 10: Open and Close Guest Mode window in Google Chrome

How to: Open and Close Guest Mode window in Google Chrome

How to Open and Close Guest Mode window in Google Chrome


While browsing in Guest mode in Google Chrome, you won't see or change any other Chrome profile's info. When you exit Guest mode, your browsing activity is deleted from the computer.

Guest mode is ideal for:

• Letting others borrow your computer, or borrowing someone else’s computer.
• Using a public computer, like one at a library or cafe.

Guest mode stops Chrome from saving your browsing activity.

Your activity might still be visible to:

• Websites you visit, including the ads and resources used on those sites
• Your employer, school, or whoever runs the network you’re using
• Your internet service provider

If you sign in to an account to use a web service (like Gmail) while in Guest mode, your browsing activity might be saved on sites that recognize that account.

If there's a supervised user on your computer, Guest mode isn't available when all non-supervised profiles are locked.

If you want to browse privately on your own computer, use Incognito mode. You'll see your info and settings without saving any browsing history.


This tutorial will show you how to browse as a guest in Google Chrome by opening a Guest mode window.

Public Computer Chrome Private vs. Guest Mode

So I was on a public computer today and went to gmail and I always use Private Mode and in addition I restart the computer when I am done. Today was the first time I saw an option to browse in Guest mode as opposed to private mode.

https://support.google.com/chrome/an...sktop&hl=en-GB

Open Guest mode

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click the button with a name or People
   
   .
3. Click Guest.

I noticed that the People icon is not available in Private mode but only when I open up a regular browser window. So on a public computer which offers more privacy selecting private mode or guest mode. I use a public computer every day for an hour or so and this was the first time I saw that option. TIA.
