1. Tor is a good choice.
2. Incognito tab does practically nothing for you, it maybe cleans up some of the local files when you close it. But how effectively it does it is questionable especially on SSD drives. It offers no network security, it is purely local.
3. Use TOR, VPNs claim they do not keep logs, but you have no way of verifying that. They are built to allow to to watch netflix, no company will ever put their business on the line to defend you from the law. They will give up your data, period.
4. I do not have that, but covering that is generally a good idea.
5. Disconnect those devices if you can.
6. Even if you do a flash type storage like an SSD or a EMMC will retain up to 60% of that data due to wear spreading algorithms. It will make it harder to recover, but not impossible.
7. You should do that.

Use linux.
Use something that runs from RAM like Tails.
Use a dedicated separate device and do not use a phone. There is no practical way of wiping a mobile device often enough to not keep local evidence.
Learn what the laws of your country say about bestiality and zoo pornography.
Assess how much of a risk it is for you and implement security measures you think you need.

Indeed, there are many security issues that we need to understant better.

I apologize for the simplicity of my topic.

Thanks @pes for the help. You always help us ;)

In fact no matter what you try to use, everything you do online can be tracked down. Some measurements just make it more difficult but not impossible...
 
Might interesting for the ones not such tech freaks, how to delete secure a hard drive without the possibility of any data to be restored from anyone...
Requirement: A PC on which Windows is installed and in which the SSD that is to be deleted has been installed as an additional drive.

Unfortunately, deleting SSDs is not as trivial as the internal structure and type of data storage is completely different than “classic” hard drives. To securely erase an SSD, the “ATA Secure Erase” command must be used. This is activated in a different way for each SSD manufacturer and the software from the respective manufacturer is required for this! Can be downloaded on each manufacturer site..

Please note that, unlike a “classic” HDD, the respective SSD must not be connected to the executing computer via a USB adapter when executing the “ATA Secure Erase” command. Otherwise, this could result in the SSD no longer working and the data not being deleted properly.
 
Or use full disk encryption and delete the encryption header which should make the SSD a disk full of unrecoverable data.
 
I originally started addressing these concerns off the top of my head, but halfway through, I realized there were more details that needed to be covered. So I decided to write everything out in a more organized way.
And no, don’t assume this was all written by ChatGPT. It didn’t come up with a lot of the points here; I had to tell it what to include. 🙂

My Take on Forum Access Privacy and Security
We need to separate the kinds of risks people are worrying about. From what I see, they fall into two main categories:

1. Outside Threats (Remote Surveillance, Hacking, Blackmail)​

These are mostly exaggerated fears, especially if you’re just browsing or participating in a forum, even if it’s adult-themed or controversial.
  • No one can remotely turn on your camera or mic from a website unless you explicitly give browser permission. Period.
  • No one can trace your IP and identity from the forum alone. Websites only see your IP address. To go from that to your real-world identity, someone would need to go through your ISP with a legal request or court order.
  • You don’t need a VPN unless you live in a country with censorship or you just want an added layer of anonymity. But for most people, it's not necessary.

2. Local Risks (People Around You)​

This is the real concern: someone who has casual or physical access to your device — roommates, partners, friends, etc.

Practical Tips for Privacy​

Hiding Browsing History​

  • Use Incognito Mode
    It doesn’t store browsing history, cookies, or form inputs after the session ends. It’s the easiest and most effective way to keep your activity clean.
  • Clear Browser History
    If you browsed normally and didn't use Incognito Mode, go into your browser settings and delete history (you can delete only those referencing the specific domain you need to), and autofill entries. Some browsers also keep suggestions in the address bar — clear those too.
  • Avoid Browser Syncing
    If your browser is logged into your Google account, and didn't use Incognito Mode, your history and bookmarks might be synced across devices or to the cloud — that’s another potential leak. Turn it off.

Hiding Downloaded Files​

  • Clear Downloads
    Even in Incognito Mode, downloaded files stay on your system. You should:
    • Delete them when done, or
    • Move them to a neutral or encrypted folder,
    • Or store them on an external drive or USB thumb drive,
    • Or upload them to a private cloud account only you control,
    • Or save them to a virtual drive that isn’t visible to other users through File Explorer.
  • Delete Browser’s Download History
    Even if you delete or move the actual files, the browser may still keep a record of what you downloaded. Be sure to clear the download history from the browser’s settings or downloads panel.
  • Empty the Recycle Bin
    A normal delete is fine. Just don’t forget to empty the recycle bin afterward.

Securing Access to Your Device​

  • Use a Separate User Account
    If others share your PC, create a separate account for them. Better yet, protect your own account with a password and don’t let others use it. This will eliminate the fear of having forgotten something, since others can't get into your account without a password.

Preventing Others from Seeing References to the Site​

  • Disable or Clear File Suggestions and Previews
    File Explorer and other apps may show recent activity. You should:
    • Clear recent files lists.
    • Disable quick access or file preview panels.
    • Also check apps like Windows Media Player or image/video viewers that keep a list of recently opened files.
  • Be Careful with Bookmarks and Shortcuts
    Avoid saving bookmarks to the forum in your browser — someone else could open your bookmarks and see them.
    Also, check your desktop or Start menu for shortcuts to the site that you may have created without realizing it (some browsers or tools do this automatically).
  • Use a Separate Email for the Forum
    Don’t link your main identity to any forum you want to keep private.
    Also, it avoids the awkward situation where you’re browsing your email with someone watching your screen and an email from the forum pops up in your inbox.

Final Thought​

No one is going to perform forensic recovery on your PC unless they already suspect something. What you need to protect yourself from is the curious friend, partner, or family member who might glance at your screen or browse your folders.
Be smart. Use discretion. Don’t panic or go overboard — just take practical steps and don’t leave obvious traces.
