Posted: June 25, 2020

Incognitonow.com is a search engine related to the browser extension IncognitoNow. As you can tell by the name of the add-on, it promises to allow users to preserve their privacy online by protecting their searches and reducing the number of targeted ads they see. However, you should know that the installation of IncognitoNow comes at a certain cost – you need to allow the extension to replace your default search engine and new tab page with websites affiliated to Incognitonow.com. While this change is not nefarious, many users are unlikely to enjoy it because they will be forced to use an unknown, 3rd-party website.

IncognitoNow is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and it should be possible to complete its removal by using a suitable PC security service. The removal of IncognitoNow is the best way to make sure that Incognitonow.com also will be removed from your Web browser's configuration.

To avoid interacting with similar PUPs in the future, we advise you to monitor their installation process carefully. In general, it is a suggested action to avoid installing browser extensions that ask you to use an alternative new tab page or search engine.
