When using Incognito mode, browsing history is not recorded, and websites cannot use cookies to track internet activity. Since so much of the internet uses tracking cookies to target users with ads, some sites don’t like users visiting in this privacy mode, and will block them. To see examples of this, try viewing articles on The Boston Globe or MIT Technology Review websites while using Incognito.
The most common way that websites detect the mode is by trying to call the “FileSystem” API, which is available in Chrome’s default mode.
