What Is Incognito Mode?

Let’s look at what incognito mode does before proceeding with closing those tabs. Incognito mode, commonly known as private browsing, is a browsing option where your browser does not retain history, cookies, site data, or information filled in forms for the session. However, cookies and history, in general, remain, as do downloads and bookmarks. Your activity may be exposed to websites, your employer, or the ISP.

How To Close All Incognito Tabs On Different Browsers?

1. Google Chrome

For Desktop (Windows and Mac)

To close all incognito tabs, follow these steps:

Manual Close: Log out and shut down the whole incognito window. Open the Chrome browser and find the black icon with the spy-reviewing glasses at the top. To minimize the current window, click the “X” button at the top right corner of Windows. On a Mac, double-click the red close button to close all the incognito tabs in that window.

Shortcut Method: You can use the shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + W or Command + Shift + W on MAC to close the incognito tabs.

For Android & iOS

On smart devices, closing incognito tabs is a little different but still simple:

Android: Click the tab switcher button located at the top right of your screen. It will look like a square or number. You’ll see two options: “Tabs” and “Incognito.” Switch to the incognito tabs and quickly, using the three-dot menu at the bottom, choose “Close all incognito tabs.”

iPhone/iPad: Click the square icon in the center of the screen. Tap the “Incognito” tab, and at the top left of the screen, tap the “Close All” button.

Safari’s private browsing option is slightly different from Chrome or Firefox, but it is just as simple to control.

For Mac

For Desktop (Windows And Mac)

Manual Close: To close the private window, click the menu button and then close this tab or press the “X” for Windows or the red ‘x’ for Mac. This closes all the multiple private tabs in one click.

Shortcut Method: To close the private window with all tabs opened, press Ctrl + Shift + W for Windows or Command + Shift + W for Mac.

Final Thoughts

No matter what web browser you’re using—Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Opera—to close all the incognito tabs, follow the steps above. Every browser has small differences, but once you master these general quick steps or shortcuts, you will make sure that your private browsing lives up to its name.

However, you should know that while in incognito mode, your activity will be hidden from the browser, but you are not invisible online. However, there are certain risks involved that your Internet service provider, the websites you visit, and sometimes your employer can monitor your Internet activity. Therefore, remain always vigilant, and if you really care about your privacy, then it is also high time you use items like the VPN.

Now that you have this knowledge, closing those incognito tabs should be easy!
