Rubbish ... it's quite simple and and the criticism is totally reasonable.
One single business (Google) promised the users anonymity on the client-side ... that same single business (Google) then broke that promise when their server-side tech worked around it.
They LIED and should be punished.

edit: I see people don't seem to have a counter argument and are just down-voting an uncomfortable truth ;-)
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoCan anyone actually point to this supposed promise. The only incognito mode I've seen comes with an explicit DISCLAIMER that you WILL probably be tracked by the websites you visit, the ISP you use etc. The terms for using Chrome are pretty clear, as are youtube / gmail etc.
- ipaddr 5y agoThe wording is: 'these activities might be visible' to websites. But that is a lie. They are visible.
- deepfriedrice 5y agoIt's actually: Your activity might still be visible to: * Websites you visit * Your employer or school * Your internet service provider "might" makes sense because some or none of those may apply, depending on how you're using the browser.
