Chrome Incognito Mode: This only prevents your device from saving your browsing history, cookies, and site data locally. It doesn't hide your activity from your ISP or websites.

To be safe+anonymous, I strongly recommend using incognito mode + SoftEther VPN (it's free) + a WebRTC leak protection & no-script browser extensions to hide your browser's unique fingerprint.
Brave Browser: (There are a few others)... Offers built-in ad-blocking, tracker blocking, and fingerprinting protection. It's decent for privacy but won't stop your ISP from seeing your traffic unless you use a VPN or Tor.
Encrypted DNS: Use DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) or DNS-over-TLS (DoT) instead of your ISP's DNS. This stops them from tracking the domains you visit. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Quad9, or Google DNS are standard options.
Tor Browser or Tails: If you need serious anonymity, Tor routes your traffic through multiple nodes, hiding it from your ISP and websites (at the cost of speed). Tails goes further by offering a privacy-focused OS (There are others as well).
Careful, AdGuard is Russian. After the Ukraine war started they tried to cover up this fact, but if you view their website on https://archive.org it'll tell a different story.

Test browser's safety and anonymity here:

AdGuard or Pi-hole: Good for blocking trackers and ads but limited in protecting against ISP tracking without additional tools like encrypted DNS.
