Does private browsing hide my IP address from websites?

No. Incognito and similar modes stop saving history and cookies on your device, but your connection still uses the same public IP from your ISP or VPN. Check with What Is My IP Address IP—the value matches normal windows unless you change networks or VPN.

What actually hides my IP?

A VPN, proxy, or Tor routes traffic so a different exit IP is seen. Private browsing alone does not do that.

Does Incognito hide my IP address?

To change the IP websites see

Use a VPN or switch networks; see what IP a VPN shows.
