Tip using Guest Profile effectively
Tip 1: Combine with private mode for safer browsing
- Guest Profile already provides basic privacy, but combining it with Incognito/Private mode doubles your security
- This mode helps block third-party cookies and prevents websites from tracking your activity across sessions
- Ideal when you need to access sensitive information (banking, healthcare) on someone else’s device
- Herond automatically blocks trackers and ads even in Guest Profile, delivering a clean browsing experience
Tip 2: Use for device sharing (no data leak worries)
- Share safely with others without worrying about them seeing your browsing history or saved passwords
- Your main profile is completely isolated – Guest users cannot access bookmarks, autofill forms, or logged-in accounts
- Perfect when guests visit and need to borrow your computer, colleagues need quick lookups, or children want to browse
- After closing Guest Profile, all data is automatically deleted – leaving no trace behind
Tip 3: Check that extensions are disabled in Guest Mode
- By default, most extensions will be disabled in Guest Profile to protect privacy
- This means your tools like password managers and ad blockers won’t work in Guest mode
- If you need to use specific extensions, you can manually enable them in Settings -> Extensions -> “Allow in Guest mode”
- However, you should limit enabling extensions in Guest Profile to ensure others cannot access your personal tools
- Herond still maintains default tracker blocking even when extensions are disabled
