I'm already thinking of doing any "sensitive" searches (i.e. stuff i would rather google not know, e.g. my mental health state) on google through chrome's incognito mode, but then I think about it more and I realise that if I do a search on incognito mode, the browser probably knows and marks it as an extra special search and hence becomes even more "sensitive" (and reports back to Google)
- panarky 7y agoWhy fear super secret conspiracies like this? What we already know for a fact is horrible enough.
- kdtsh 7y agoIf you’re worried about Google knowing, you shouldn’t use Google’s browser. While they might not mark searches like that, we don’t know what Chrome does when we tell it to search for something we’re sensitive about.
