Wait... people actually think that incognito means that they don't record your searches??

I thought everybody knew that all incognito does is preventing your searches from showing up in your search history.

Did anyone actually think that these big tech companies would willingly give you an option to keep your searches private from them?

Hello????

Always assume that everything you do online is being recorded and seen by someone. Unless you're a master computer wiz or whatever the fuck they call it these days, ALWAYS ASSUME YOUR ACTIVITY ONLINE IS PUBLIC.

This is the consequence of wrapping everything in glossy plastics and dumbed down UI for decades. People don't want to learn, and even if they do it's all hidden away behind blobs and bloats.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

People mistaking incognito mode for a VPN or Tor.

Exactly. My understanding is that you use incognito mode if you don’t want the browser autofilling pornhub.com when you type po in the search bar.

Cmon if you use tor to search about cookie recipes then you are ill, Schizo

Healthy people use tor to hire hitman on their boss after boss fired them, or a hacker to doxx the jerk that downvoted them

Glad I don't use Chrome lol

[–] Karl@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

So this is why the weird shite I look up in incognito comes up when I search something without incognito mode.

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So that's why I got advertisement for weird sextoys on Wish...

No thats because of the dream monitoring. Don't be silly.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

I don’t care or think they didn’t track that, they don’t ruin my algorithm with those searches which is all I really care about.

I basically just use it to look up whatever new crazy person my whack job mother was sending me some antivax propaganda from to confirm they’re the type of quack I assume them to be.

[–] Cattail@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

yeah im part of that class action and i get so many text asking about it

Incognito was never about privacy. It's about hiding your seach history from your parents or partner or whatever

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 71 points 1 week ago (5 children)

For buying gifts, for example.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

That's adorable.

I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.

UPDATE disgustingly_detailed_data SET deleted = true WHERE inkognito = true;

Incognito was literally only good for opening a second session without you logged in. It did zero for privacy. Even their disclaimer said so.
