Can hotel WiFi see your incognito history?

Okay, so, “Can hotel WiFi see your incognito history?” That’s a question I’ve definitely wondered about myself while, you know, catching up on things during a trip! Here’s what I’ve figured out:

Can Hotels See Incognito Browsing?

Yeah, sadly, the answer is basically yes. Incognito mode? It’s more like “slightly less obvious to the person borrowing your laptop” mode. You see, all it really does is stop your own browser from remembering where you’ve been. It’s great for, say, surprise gift shopping. I remember one time I was trying to buy my wife an anniversary present, and I was using our shared computer. Incognito saved the day!

But here’s the thing, it doesn’t magically make you invisible online. The hotel’s WiFi network? It can still see where your data is going. Think of it like this: incognito hides your tracks on your side, but the hotel is still the gatekeeper to the internet, and they can see who’s going through their gate. It’s kinda creepy, right? Makes you wonder what they’re actually doing with that info… I mean, hopefully, just keeping things running smoothly. But still. Gives you pause, doesn’t it?
