Unsure how successful the plaintiffs will be here. The Incognito Mode splash page (screenshotted in the article) explicitly notes:
> Your activity might still be visible to:
> * Websites you visit
> * Your employer or school
> * Your internet service provider
Which to me, at least, makes clear that Incognito Mode is not a catch-all privacy-preserving mode.
Additionally, the "Block third-party cookies" toggle implies that websites can/will use third-party cookies when the toggle isn't selected.
(I have mixed feelings on some of these anti-Google suits... considering how many rock-solid cases there are to bring against Google, chasing the ones that are founded on shaky premises feels like a waste of time at best and actively detrimental to the other cases at worst.)
- unaindz 3y agoI'm pretty sure those disclaimers were not there when the lawsuit started a few years back. People generally thought privacy mode had a lot more capabilities than it really had, at least most layman people I talked with about it. Now it seems that has changed, probably because of the disclaimers.
