- StudentStuff 8y agoSlightly surprising that Google Chrome is bringing up the back of the pack when it comes to incognito mode, Firefox and Safari can both view this site without the popup complaining about using incognito mode.
- bad_user 8y agoNot defending Chrome, but if websites are willingly blocking users carrying about their privacy, then maybe you shouldn't read those websites. Paying with your wallet or your eyeballs works. Most of the time reading such articles is a time waste anyway.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoOne doesn't exclude the other. I'm going to let the website owner know, but at the same time I'd expect the browser vendors to take greater care about protecting the private mode.
- icebraining 8y agoMaybe the site developers simply didn't care about detecting the mode in other browsers.
- pxtail 8y ago> Slightly surprising that Google Chrome is bringing up the back of the pack Actually that's quite opposite to surprising in this case - tracking users and their behaviors is googles bread and butter so this is probably feature, not a bug
- Vinnl 8y agoApparently private browsing is pretty easy to detect in any browser: > Also yes, in case you didn't know, there's lots of ways to detect private browsing using JavaScript. It's kinda dumb that browsers don't work harder to make it imperceptible. https://toot.cafe/@nolan/101189400134875073 https://toot.cafe/@nolan/101189400134875073
