Private browsing is the generic name for the browser feature that Chrome calls Incognito, Firefox calls Private Window, and Safari calls Private Browsing.
Explanation
All modern browsers offer this mode. The specifics vary — Firefox blocks trackers by default in private mode; Chrome does not; Safari isolates each private tab as its own session. But the common feature is: nothing persists on the local device after the private window closes. The network view of your activity is unchanged. Use private browsing on shared devices, but do not confuse it with anonymity — the site you visit still knows who you are (via IP, cookies loaded during the session, and any account you sign into).
