To make Google Chrome even more private, you can browse using Incognito Mode. This prevents Chrome from logging any of the sites you visit. While surfing using the incognito mode, your web activity will not be stored in the browsing history. Furthermore, downloads and any history of your downloaded content will not be recorded. Also, when the Google Chrome browser is closed, all new cookies will be deleted.
