TL;DR: Chrome doesn't stop trackers, so they're gonna add a warning that incognito doesn't stop trackers.
Does Firefox private browsing or Edge's..whatever they call it stop trackers? If not are they being sued too?
No, but they've included the warnings already, so they won't get sued.
The edge message definitely isn't clear. The Firefox one is better though
Chrome claimed “Now you can browse privately”, which none of these do. Also, your screenshot for Edge is outdated.
I couldn't find a newer screenshot, I assume its just chromium wording now?
Nope. It's very different. I'm pretty sure this was changed way before this lawsuit.
Wow, I do kinda see why Google got sued now looking at those
