What is the difference between using Tor Browser and Incognito mode or private tabs?

Chrome and Firefox offer 'Incognito mode' and 'private tabs,' which erase all local information from your device related to a browsing session once it is closed. However, these modes do not provide any protection against online tracking and have no measures in place to hide your activity or digital fingerprint online. Eso significa que un observador puede recolectar tu tráfico de forma tan fácil como con un navegador convencional.

Tor Browser provides the same amnesic features as private tabs, while also hiding your source IP address, browsing habits, and details about a device that can be used to fingerprint activity across the web. This allows for a truly private browsing session, fully obfuscated from end-to-end.
