    Incognito was never about privacy. It's about hiding your seach history from your parents or partner or whatever

      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

        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.

          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).

                            I don't think anyone thought that "incognito mode" his anything from anyone except the other users of that particular computer

                            You vastly over estimate the average end user, half of them think using basic linux terminal commands constitutes hacking lel.

                              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."

                                          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.
