The term "incognito" doesn't always mean "I can't be identified", but it looks like those are the grounds.
I wouldn't be surprised if they get an inconsequential slap on the wrist.
- ehsankia 6y agoI'm curious, every other browser has a similar mode. Is the same thing not an issue in other browsers? Do analytics packages not track you in Firefox Private browsing? Do other non-Google analytics not track you in Chrome? What's specific to Google/Chrome here that's not true with every other browser/analytics platform?

- ikeyany 6y agoI imagine anyone who tries to brand it as "I can't be identified" might be sued too. Who knows how successful they will be. I doubt it would be worth the effort for browsers that don't have a huge market share. For example, a suit against Opera would be ineffective in the grand scheme...as most aren't aware of its existence.
- ehsankia 6y agoWhere is the "can't be identified" line come from? The branding is, word for word: > Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won't see your activity and > Your activity might still be visible to: Websites you visit Where does that piece of branding you mention come from? I don't see it anywhere? Did Google remove it recently? Or is it just what people, through the telephone game, have come to think it means?
