wtf was anyone expecting
I haven’t used Chrome in years. Brave and firefox, that’s my crowd.
Which is why i don’t use safebrowsing but rather a separate profile located (
--profileswitch) in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.Next headline: Google promises to delete the Firefox private window data they keep about you
Firefox’s main funding was from Google being their default search engine. Which of course means anything searched in Google (via the URL field) is recorded to the external IP address logs. So unless you are going directly to the website or changed the search engine in Firefox, yes Google was recording said information (or at least compiling the numbers for data analytics) to use for advertising purposes.
I use chrome once or twice a year, when I need to figure out if a website problem is my browser or the site.
Ironically, I use incognito for that.
You guys are still using Chrome?
They are fully capable of extracting profile data from you even if you’re in incognito/private mode. And it doesn’t matter what browser you are using. My colleague was demonstrating techniques to do that with methods he personally figured out in one day in a hackathon in 2015.
Google has been actively researching and developing such techniques about as long as they have existed. I find it improbable that they would actually delete this data.
Incognito was never about privacy. It’s about hiding your seach history from your parents or partner or whatever
and i’m pretty sure the browsers have been quite explicit about this for a long time now, but of course no one bothers to read “This won’t change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google.”
For buying gifts, for example.
Or masturbating to pornography
Or buying pornography.
hey before they do that, can i look through their files on me? theres some porn i havent been able to refind anywhere

Incognito was never about hiding your data from Google, it was always about preventing random websites from getting your data
It doesn’t even do that. All it does is prevent persistent data from being stored from the browsing session (so, no disk cache or browsing history).
Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.
We need an incognito mode for the incognito mode.
“He’s the one who knocks!”
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.

Go to the website directly! Porn hub is not hard to spell! I spell it all the time even using no fingers at all!
This doesn’t change much if you use Google’s browser
No no, they said directly. No browser.
Pornhub headquarters is located at 21620 N 19th Ave, Phoenix, Arizona 85027
“Hello! I’m here to browse!”
You can?!!! How! Must have porn now! Plz!
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…
In lawsuits settlement
In meme sentence, words disappear.
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/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.
I use private, because I am a tab hoarder
I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.
The raw data might be purged but no one talks about the ML modal that google trained with that data.
Oops offshore backup mysteriously occurred.
Of course they will! First you make a copy, then you delete the copy. Contractual terms satisfied.
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?
Its a moot point once you sign into your Facebook account to “share with friends”
firefox containers are amazing for this
Firefox -p “Spanky”
Except it only keeps cookies separated, history is shared over all containers.
