      Incognito has always been about not storing your browser history on your computer. It’s so that “hentai tentacle redneck porn” is not showing up as first result as soon you’re typing “h” when your family is around. It has never been about preventing tracking.

    In this thread: People (pretending to be?) incredibly unaware of what incognito browsing is.

    Newsflash: It just means your activities are not locally logged. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible for online parties to track you, just a teensie bit harder. Hell, it literally says so when you open the incognito tab.
