A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah. But you don't get upvotes so easily by not shouting "Google bad!".
Firefox's private mode says:

Ok. I'll leave it just in case someone else doesn't.
As I said in a different comment, it should have been obvious to anyone with with basic reading skills. Google may be a shitty company (it surely is), but the PEBCAK factor is strong factor in this case.
Disagree. Independently on the browser you use, website may track you server side and you wouldn't ever know.
Right. Much easier to avoid reading altogether and just blame someone else when bad thing occur. Typical.
How much obvious does it need to be?
