It is what it is

The Google Incognito tab in any browser clarifies that while it prevents your browsing history from being saved on your device, it does not make your browsing completely private.
Websites you visit, your employer (if on a work network), and your internet service provider (ISP) can still track your online activity.
Hell it even has a link that leads directly to the privacy policy

The only thing that shocks me is that no one ever reads it
I need to check into this, but maybe someone knows.
I assumed that if you're using incognito and you don't sign into your Google account, the activity wouldn't be tied to your Google account. It might be recorded and sent to Google, but anonymously, unless you signed into Google/Gmail/YouTube/whatever, while incognito.
The obvious is that your activity wouldn't end up on your Internet history in your non-incognito Chrome.

I really don't have the time, or the interest, to explain it to you
Then don't serve a check your ass can't cash
a very small amount of digging will show you why.
Then a very smalll amount would disprove me. Until then, my point of not installing this poison still stands. Enjoy your willful ignorance. Telling me off took more effort than finding your argument lmao.

The know when I'm in a theatre and automatically mute my phone. Admittedly convenient, but also super creepy
I've never had this happen. I need to NOT mute my phone next time and test!

Naming it incognito was a mistake. It was always clear to me all incognito is, is a non persistent container to keep your browsing data separate from your regular browsing data. All its hiding is your porn browsing habits from your mom. But of course, the name implies much more.
There were memes about this what feels like at least 10 years ago. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.

For buying gifts, for example.
That's adorable.

Or pornographic gifts.

Exactly. My understanding is that you use incognito mode if you don’t want the browser autofilling pornhub.com when you type po in the search bar.

Wait... people actually think that incognito means that they don't record your searches??
I thought everybody knew that all incognito does is preventing your searches from showing up in your search history.
Did anyone actually think that these big tech companies would willingly give you an option to keep your searches private from them?
Hello????
Always assume that everything you do online is being recorded and seen by someone. Unless you're a master computer wiz or whatever the fuck they call it these days, ALWAYS ASSUME YOUR ACTIVITY ONLINE IS PUBLIC.

People really need to learn about VPNs and advertising ID numbers and also how your ISP is selling your activity

So this is why the weird shite I look up in incognito comes up when I search something without incognito mode.

This is the consequence of wrapping everything in glossy plastics and dumbed down UI for decades. People don't want to learn, and even if they do it's all hidden away behind blobs and bloats.
