“Pages you view in this tab won’t appear in your browser history
or search history, and they won’t leave other traces, like cookies,
on your device after you close all incognito tabs.
Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved,
however. Going incognito doesn’t affect the behavior of other people,
servers, or software. Be wary of surveillance by secret agents
or people standing behind you.”
The new version is:
Pages you view in incognito tabs won’t stick around in your browser’s
history, cookie store, or search history after you’ve closed all of your
incognito tabs. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be kept.
Going incognito doesn’t affect the behavior of other people, servers, software,
or people standing behind you.

- neotek 10y agoI love to know what prompted that change, whether it was due to user feedback, or a management decision, or even just the personal preferences of the individual responsible for rewording the warning.
