# 15. Ctrl + Shift + N: Create a New Incognito/Private Browsing Window
Sometimes you need to search or browse something privately without affecting your main session’s cookies, history, or logins. Opening a new regular window and then switching to private mode takes extra clicks.
In most browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox), **Ctrl + Shift + N** instantly opens a new Incognito/Private window. It’s ideal for quick price checks, gift shopping, or researching sensitive topics. Keep your main browsing session untouched and your privacy protected with one fast combination.
