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

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

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

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.

It’s Google. If you are shocked by this, you deserve to be tracked.

Putting the burden on users is a very Google thing to do, my dude.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's called victim blaming.

But yeah. I really hope people stop using Google products. Google is evil.

That's called victim blaming.

Be an informed consumer or a sorry one. It's anyone's choice.

or not, buy another Mypillow or Nintendo product since you're all gluttons for punishment.

No, not really. There are low bars; this isn't one of them. This is not something I expect average people who aren't into technology to anticipate. Nerds like me, yeah. But not the public. Though we're getting to that point.
