To turn off private mode, you'll need to close all private browsing windows. The process varies slightly depending on your browser. Here's how to do it in Chrome:
Closing Incognito Mode in Chrome
Chrome's private browsing mode is called "Incognito." When you're in Incognito, the browser window appears dark gray or black instead of the usual light gray or white. To exit Incognito:
- Look for an Incognito window: Identify the dark gray/black window, which signifies you're in Incognito mode.
- Close all Incognito windows: Tap the window icon (usually a square or rectangle) to view all open windows. Find the Incognito windows. You can typically close a window by tapping the 'X' on the corner of the window or swiping the window away. When all Incognito windows are closed, you will be back in regular browsing mode.
Other Browsers
The concept is the same for other browsers: identify the private browsing window and close it. For example, in Safari, closing all private browsing windows will turn off private mode. Look for a visual indicator that you're in private mode (a darkened interface, a "Private" label, or a specific icon).
