    I haven't used Chrome in years. Brave and firefox, that's my crowd.

      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.

          Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

              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.

                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.

                      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.

                          Which is why i don't use safebrowsing but rather a separate profile located (--profile switch) in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

                              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.
