Browse Hero as a guest

When you use a public computer or share a computer with others, websites that you visit in Guest mode won’t appear in the browser history.

In Guest mode, you won't find or be able to change any other Hero profile's info. When you exit Guest mode, your browsing activity is deleted from the computer.

Use Guest mode for:

  • Letting others borrow your computer, or borrowing someone else’s computer.
  • Using a public computer, like one at a library or cafe.

If you want to browse privately on your own computer, use Incognito mode. You'll find your info and settings without saving any browsing history.

Tip: Only log into sensitive websites on trusted devices.

Open Guest mode

  1. On your computer, open Hero.
  2. At the top right, select Profile Profile.
  3. Open Guest profile.

Tips:

  • If there's a supervised user on your computer, Guest mode isn't available when all non-supervised profiles are locked.

  • Guest mode isn't available on Chromebooks. Learn how to use Chromebook as a guest.
