On what machine? Location of files may vary.
I run Firefox on Windows... However, since I have (for another reason)
an R-Pi running in a VNC viewer, I will comment that Chromium has, on the
"..." drop-down menu:
New incognito window
which opens to (much better formatted in the browser )...
"""
You’ve gone incognito
Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won’t
see your activity. However, downloads and bookmarks will be saved. Learn

Chrome won’t save the following information:
Your browsing history
Cookies and site data
Information entered in forms
Your activity might still be visible to:
Websites you visit
Your employer or school
Your internet service provider
"""
Or... delete everything in .config/chromium (if on an R-Pi or other
Linux system)
pi@rpi3bplus-1:~$ ls .config/chromium

Though I haven't tested to see if some of those directories/files are
needed to even run Chromium. "Default" is likely the current user specific
data.
