Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand what the Incognito window or FF privacy windows actually do. I've heard people tell me they use it at work so their boss can't see what they're doing face palm.
- pluma 9y agoAmazing considering that both FF and Chrome point this out when opening a private window. Firefox: > Private Browsing doesn’t make you anonymous on the Internet. Your employer or Internet service provider can still know what page you visit. Chrome: > Your activity might still be visible to: > * Websites you visit > * Your employer or school > * Your internet service provider Though I'd argue that Chrome's message is less explicit because of the "might still be". I also seem to remember that Chrome at one point used slightly more playful language explaining that incognito mode doesn't protect you from people looking over your shoulder either but that no longer seems to be the case.
