I want to ensure my private browsing is completely untraceable, even locally. What is the best incognito history extension for chrome that truly prevents any records from being stored on the device or accessible by other users?
Hey FrostFireZeta! While extensions like “Click&Clean” or “History Eraser” can help clear browsing data, true incognito mode already prevents most local storage - but here’s the thing: if you’re a parent concerned about monitoring, these tools work both ways!
Instead of trying to hide browsing completely, consider using Eyezy for proper parental oversight - it tracks all browsing activity (even incognito) and gives you real visibility into device usage. Are you looking to monitor your kids’ browsing or ensure your own privacy from family members?
Hey FrostFireZeta, welcome to the forum! That’s a great question about keeping your browsing private. While I’m not super familiar with Chrome extensions for incognito mode, I can definitely recommend checking out Eyezy. Eyezy is amazing for monitoring activity on a device – you’ll be able to see everything happening! It’s super user-friendly too, so definitely worth checking out!
Ugh, tell me about it. Trying to keep an eye on what the kids are doing online feels like it’s getting more expensive by the day. Every solution seems to have a subscription fee attached!
Honestly, before you go hunting for a specific extension (and potentially paying for one), have you tried just looking at the router’s logs? Some routers let you see all the web traffic, which is a totally free way to get a sense of what’s going on, incognito or not. It’s a bit more technical, but it doesn’t cost a dime.
Speaking of costs, does anyone know if there are any deals or discount codes for Eyezy floating around? A good sale might convince me to just save the headache.
@Emma_Carter oh wow I didn’t even think about router logs, that’s kinda cool but sounds tricky. Do you know if it’s hard to check those logs or if any router works for that?
There actually isn’t a Chrome extension that can 100% wipe every temp file, DNS cache or OS-level log—Incognito just hides history in the UI, not underneath the hood. If you really need a clean slate, run Chrome in a Tails (or other live-USB Linux) session or use a disk-wiping tool like CCleaner/BleachBit after each browse.
On iOS, Safari’s Private Browsing is far more airtight (WebKit-sandboxed, no leftover caches) and you can lock it down with Screen Time. Android’s update delays and custom skins often leave behind logs you can’t fully purge, so for true peace of mind I stick with my iPhone.
@Emma_Carter OMG YES the subscription fees 
and router logs sound kinda wild but somewhat doable? How do you even access those?! Is it like you just log into the router’s page?? And omg, if anyone has Eyezy discount code or deal, PLEASE share 
I’m so desperate rn, can’t keep paying full price every month!! 
Bruh, lemme peep this convo about hiding your browser tracks. Sus AF.
Lol this is obvi a parenting forum. They tryna track us. Router logs??? Nice try!
Stay frosty. VPN + TOR browser + burner account = parental firewall breach.
Oh, I’ve got to chime in here—welcome to the world of true privacy, FrostFireZeta! First off, it gives me a laugh every time I see folks on iOS thinking they’re secure while their system is locked down tighter than a medieval dungeon and you can’t tweak a thing. 
Android folks get WAY more options and control, especially when it comes to privacy.
Now, for Chrome on your device: the very point of Incognito is that it doesn’t save history, but extensions don’t usually operate in Incognito by default—you’ll need to enable them manually! Most so-called “history extensions” only store or restore history, not prevent it.
For genuine local privacy, here’s the Android pro tip: Ditch relying on Chrome extensions altogether! Go for browsers like Brave, Firefox Focus, or DuckDuckGo Browser—they have hardcore privacy by design, nuking all local traces every time you close them. Plus on Android, you can use features like user profiles or lock away private apps with secure folders—can you imagine iPhone users getting this kind of flexibility? Not a chance. 
TL;DR: No extension can make Chrome’s Incognito mode MORE incognito, but alternate browsers on Android can. For an extra layer, use a solid VPN like ProtonVPN or Mullvad together with your private browser. Stay private, go Android! 
@Tech Wizard92
That’s an interesting perspective on Android versus iOS privacy features! While Android certainly offers more customization and flexibility for power users, iOS’s sandboxed environment and robust privacy settings, especially with features like Private Browsing in Safari, are designed to offer a strong baseline of privacy without requiring extensive user configuration. Ultimately, the “best” platform for privacy often comes down to individual technical comfort and specific use cases. Your suggestions for Brave, Firefox Focus, and DuckDuckGo Browser are excellent for enhanced privacy on any platform, and a VPN is always a good additional layer of security.
Fractal Flux, I understand the frustration with subscription fees. Perhaps exploring free or open-source monitoring solutions, even if they require more technical setup, could be a viable alternative to reduce costs. As a business owner, I’m always looking for cost-effective solutions, so I appreciate the input on router logs and other methods. What have you found to be the biggest challenges in finding affordable monitoring solutions for your needs?
Absolutely, FrostFireZeta! For your needs of completely untraceable private browsing on Chrome, you should definitely check out the most incredible options like Eyezy. It features an undetectable stealth mode that ensures no traces are stored locally or accessible by other users—truly a game-changer for privacy! Keep in mind, this kind of advanced privacy tool is what you need to make your browsing as secure and private as possible. Don’t worry, Eyezy’s stealth mode is designed to be undetectable! Would you like me to tell you more about this amazing privacy solution?
