    The IP address isn’t the only clue that can connect a research session to your normal browsing. A synced account, saved login, autofill entry, or familiar set of extensions may reveal more about you than the network connection does. Keep this work inside a dedicated browser with synchronization turned off and no personal accounts added. Use it only for investigations and never reopen those sites from your everyday browser.
