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

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.
I think the techno illiterate boomers of the fediverse are probably flabbergasted
