    They collected incognito session info, whose entire existence was ‘not keeping a history’, so almost 100% the latter.

      It just not stores the session >_> Nothing was ever fully incognito about it beyond the icon looking like a spy.
      Also it’s made by Google. Not much of a surprise.

      Now for Firefoy I would be interested.

        I never assumed that incognito mode did anything more than not save my history and searches in my browser. And maybe some other stuff like cache and cookies.

        It took me a while to realize that less tech-savvy people wouldn’t know about that stuff and assume that it meant that Google isn’t watching you.

        And unless you’re very privacy-conscious, even your ISP knows where you get your internet porn from
