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.

Things do the opposite of what their name says they do. We've been in 1984/F451 bizarro world for a while, now.

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.

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.

I mean, they called it "Incognito".

Incognito: having one's true identity concealed

If it doesn't conceal your identity, then that's pretty clearly misleading. They're not selling to experts, the users of this are laypeople. It's like if you sold a "waterproof phone" and the packaging all made it look like it could withstand water, but then when it got wet it broke and you were like "people just assumed it was waterproof, it's not our fault".
Sure experts could tell, and enthusiasts would read the expert opinions on it, but that's not something you should expect of laypeople considering how it is presented.

Um was this surprising to anyone? I think we all assumed that this was the case no???

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Doesn't it specifically say on a new incognito tab that this doesn't protect against sites or service providers from gathering information....and only stops you from storing local information (history, cookies, etc)? Do people actually think that incognito is adding privacy protection?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That was actually a result of this issue, where Google placed misleading statements in incognito and then proceeded to actively go around them.

It has somewhat of a privacy protection because it's incapable of keeping cookies. The bar is in hell, but it passed it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.

Go to the website directly! Porn hub is not hard to spell! I spell it all the time even using no fingers at all!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This doesn’t change much if you use Google’s browser

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No no, they said directly. No browser.

Incognito was never about hiding your data from Google, it was always about preventing random websites from getting your data
