    Incognito was never about hiding your data from Google, it was always about preventing random websites from getting your data

    Go to the website directly! Porn hub is not hard to spell! I spell it all the time even using no fingers at all!

    I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.

      Of course they will! First you make a copy, then you delete the copy. Contractual terms satisfied.

    If anyone thought that Incognito somehow protected their data from websites or services, then that’s their fault for jumping to that conclusion in the face of everything saying that’s not the case.

    Also…

      That was actually their lawyer’s argument, that “incognito mode” being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.

        Well yeah, that’s the only possible argument that the lawyer could even have.

    Incognito was literally only good for opening a second session without you logged in. It did zero for privacy. Even their disclaimer said so.

      Incognito, you mean porn mode?

        Except it only keeps cookies separated, history is shared over all containers.

    Incognito/Private Browsing came about when people were sharing computers more often. It doesn’t save history and cookies and whatnot on your device. It’s to prevent the next user from getting in to your bank account.

    Google and whoever else will still know your IP and can use that to cross-reference whatever other data they have on you.

  • Elgenzay@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.

    - Google Chrome

    Um was this surprising to anyone? I think we all assumed that this was the case no???

    • cRazi_man@europe.pub ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Doesn’t it specifically say on a new incognito tab that this doesn’t protect against sites or service providers from gathering information…and only stops you from storing local information (history, cookies, etc)? Do people actually think that incognito is adding privacy protection?

      source
      • LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        That was actually a result of this issue, where Google placed misleading statements in incognito and then proceeded to actively go around them.

      • themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It has somewhat of a privacy protection because it’s incapable of keeping cookies. The bar is in hell, but it passed it.

    I don’t think anyone thought that “incognito mode” his anything from anyone except the other users of that particular computer

      Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.

    Am I the only one who only used incognito by accident when intending to select “open in new tab” from the context menu?

    source
    • Damage@slrpnk.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I use it to access the same site with different logins at the same time, or to let someone else log in to a service temporarily using my device

      source
    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s literally the only time I’ve ever used it. Knowing what it is, I don’t even need it. I have the settings set to erase all my history and most other stuff upon closing the browser. Which is exactly what incognito mode does.
