Did you know that private browsing modes aren’t very private?
$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.
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.
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 :)
When are these multibillion dollar companies actually going to be sued for more than what is essentially a nickel to them?
It’s like a game for lawyers, they know google is hemmoraging money so they decide “ohhhh let’s sue them, but just for a lil bit, don’t want to piss them off TOO much”
You notice how they block certain VPN IP addresses too? I try to use IPVanish but lots of them don’t work specifically just on Google. They claim to care about security then sometimes don’t let you use a VPN? Yeah whatever…

Honest question: Which browser would you recommend instead?
Good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies. It sounds like the FF feature works as intended

Yeah everyone needs to stop using Chrome.
