You’ve gone Incognito. Others who use this device won’t see your activity, so you can browse more privately. This won’t change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google. Downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved.

  Ah, good find. I just assumed it would have been explicit about it from the start

    Yeah, one would have hoped that’d be the case - but apparently not.
    
    I just remembered reading this a while back (start of last year, it seems?), and it honestly felt like a tacit admission of wrong-doing - so they’re likely going to be facing an uphill battle, or at least are expecting one.

    Even before that change it’s explicit about it… They basically went from “this isn’t real privacy” to screaming at your face cause apparently people can’t read and are idiots.
    
    This is a case of users misusing a tool and not reading. At best you can argue that google should have assumed it’s users were stupid beyond measure from the start and had a tos so verbose that only someone missing a brain could misunderstand the point of the tool.

  Man, even then it was clear what it was doing, are they supposed to list every single website you visit that might track you?
