My brother is an IT. Can he view my incognito history

My brother is an IT and I'm wondering if he can see the sites i go to or the things i search for even if I do it in incognito mode?
Yes and I hope he does
What is an IT?
Unless he goes to trouble of contacting your internet service provider or he has installed spyware on to your device, no.
What porn have you been watching that you don’t want your brother to see?

I mean he is a Information Technology graduate. And now he works for this company to fix their servers or etc. do back ups in the company server.

To reiterate what I just said, yes he could if he wanted to.
Why would a presumably busy professional wish to spy on their spy on their siblings internet use? Surely he has better things to do?

You are right. I just wondered how safe inocgnito mode is and how easy would it be for him if he got curious about my browsing history.
Use a VPN server or Tor if you're paranoid.

Is Tor also like Duckduckgo?

No, it's not a search engine. It's about as anonymous as you can get.

It's The Onion Router - haven't you heard of it?
ipconfig/flushsns

If the worst comes to worst smash your router and delete the registry.

Yep, at torproject.org.
Yes, you can look at anything on your local network.

But tbh why would he randomly look at this, even if he does I can’t imagine he would be interested in discussing your porn habits with you. You could use a VPN or P2P browser like TOR.
