Incognito mode, also known as private browsing in Opera, allows you to browse the internet without saving your browsing history, cookies, or website data on your device. This feature is especially useful when using shared or public computers or when you want to keep your local browsing activity private.

Below is a complete guide on how to enable Incognito Mode in Opera on both desktop and mobile devices.

How to Enable Incognito Mode in Opera on Desktop

Method 1: Using a Keyboard Shortcut

1. Open the Opera browser on your computer.
2. Press the following keyboard shortcut to open a new private window:
   • Windows / Linux:
     Ctrl + Shift + N
   • macOS:
     Command + Shift + N

A new private browsing window will open immediately.

Method 2: Using the Opera Menu

1. Open the Opera browser.
2. Click the Opera icon (red “O”) in the top-left corner of the browser window.
3. Select New Private Window from the menu.

A new private window will open with a dark theme and a message indicating that you are browsing in private mode. Any activity in this window will not be saved to your browsing history.

How to Know You Are in Incognito Mode

• The private window uses a dark or incognito-themed interface.
• An incognito icon (usually a mask) appears near the top of the window.
• A message confirms that browsing history, cookies, and site data will not be saved.

You can now browse privately. Websites visited in this tab will not be saved to your browsing history.

Summary

Enabling Incognito Mode in Opera is quick and straightforward. You can activate private browsing using a keyboard shortcut or the browser menu on desktop, and through the tab manager on mobile devices.

Keep in mind that while Incognito Mode prevents your browser from saving local data, it does not hide your activity from websites, network administrators, or your internet service provider (ISP).
