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.

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."

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.
We need an incognito mode for the incognito mode.

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.
I use private, because I am a tab hoarder

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