Incognitomodi

Incognitomodi is a term used in online discussions and some software contexts to describe a privacy-oriented set of operating modes. It is not a standardized concept, and definitions vary by source.

Etymologically, the word combines incognito with modi (Latin/Italian for "ways" or "modes"), signaling multiple privacy-oriented modes rather than a single feature.

Usage and scope: In practice, incognitomodi may refer to configurations that reduce traceability, including private or incognito browsing, traffic masking, reduced telemetry, ephemeral sessions, or selective data sharing. In some projects, it denotes a collection of modes that a user can switch between depending on desired privacy levels.

Limitations: Because the term lacks formal definition, its meaning can be ambiguous. Implementations that claim to offer incognitomodi may still expose metadata or rely on external systems, so users should evaluate each feature on its own merits.
