- JKCalhoun 3y agoNot disagreeing but also 20+ years ago we, the general public, were more likely to be on a shared desktop machine at home rather than each having their own laptop/phone. Funny how browsers adding browsing history as a feature sort of necessitated private mode.

Even if you're not on a shared computer, you don't want "pornhub.com" to show up on your autocomplete when you're screensharing (online or in-person).
- jebarker 3y agoSure, but was "porn mode" for the benefit of the user or the data collectors? I don't feel like that's a controversial thing to suggest given everything we know about the extent of online tracking and the players involved.
