Normal vs private browsing

[appleuser15]

Just curious, do you guys use private or normal browsing?
If you could explain why you use that it would also help, thanks.

Private is for when you are looking at porn or something and you don't want it in your browsing history.

Haha thought so. So people typically just leave chrome on normal and only use private for "private" stuff?

Chrome has what it calls "incognito mode" which is a form of private browsing in that it removes history, cookies, search history, and tabs.

I actually do quite a lot of my browsing in private mode: Since it doesn't retain a history, cookies, etc, I don't leave much of a profile for targeted ads and tracking, whose mere existence annoys me to no end. On the desktop, this is complemented with a good ad blocker (currently uBlock Origins), but my iDevices are too old to allow for ad blockers to run natively (32-bit systems).
