$5 billion Google lawsuit over ‘incognito mode’ tracking moves a step closer to trial | Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers denied Google’s push for a summary judgment in a lawsuit over the way it tracked…::Google’s push for a summary judgment in a lawsuit over tracking internet activity even after users activated Chrome’s “Incognito mode” was denied.
Every Google-related article: “USE FIREFOX! FIREFOX!”
Well, hate to burst your little Firefox bubble but: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3186941/you-are-not-very-incognito-in-incognito-mode.html
Firefox can happily lie to you and you’ll buy it, you’ll buy it so much that you don’t see in between the lines.
This is true for all browsers that have an incognito mode, not just Firefox.
Unless you’re using Tor, there’s not really a way to go 99% incognito.
My point was to stick it to the rabid “F-FFFFIREFOX!” fanboys that think their browser is still the shit over anything and never can go a single browser discussion without them browbeating people to use what they use. I’m all for free choice, do what you will, use what you want. But at least understand that neither browser is perfect and this “godly” Firefox is far from perfect, itself. Why does it still have a 5% marketshare then? More people are still using Chrome and that’s a reality whether it’s accepted or not.
I don’t recall a single instance where I’ve gone around demanding people use Chrome, which is what I use, just for the sake of using it. It does things for me that I like, it performs in a way that doesn’t hinder me and I find some usability with it. I don’t give a shit about Google the corporation because of everything they’re ruining for everyone currently. And I have had used Firefox for quite a long time, since 2.0 all the way until version 90 as a full time browser. I got sick of it’s issues and I’ve tolerated them for years up to that point. So yeah I do have some say of that browser enough to tell that it’s not fucking everything.
Firefox is the only mainstream browser with source code written in full by a nonprofit. That’s more than enough for me to evangelize it. Let me know how manifest 3 and the chromium web drm implementation treat you.
bruh chill, how tf they lying? the feature works exactly as expected/advertised. it’s not Mozilla’s fault if people don’t know how to read.
“Important: Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet. Your Internet service provider, employer, or the sites themselves can still gather information about pages you visit. Private Browsing also doesn’t protect you from keyloggers or spyware that may be installed on your computer. To learn more, see Common Myths about Private Browsing.”

LOL! All of your sources are from Mozilla themselves. Delicious bias irony.
Not ironic at all. If missing the point was a flavor, you’d be the most delicious dish.
When Mozilla says that “Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet” you’re saying they’re lying? Are you telling me that private browsing does make you Anon? In that case you’re the liar.
Of course I’m going to link to Mozilla to give an example of their claims (true or not.) maybe if you think that they’re lying about the claim of “private browsing not making you anonymous” try to provide some reasoning as to why :)
Honest question: Which browser would you recommend instead?
Good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies. It sounds like the FF feature works as intended
