When/where has it been marketed as anything but a "hide history from local users" feature?
All I've seen is the marketing for "buying gifts for your spouse in secret"-feature.
You are saying they have marketed it as a total privacy feature, like the VPN companies do?
- ricardobeat 3y agoEven the “buying gifts for your spouse in secret” case is thwarted, you may end up seeing retargeting ads or YT suggestions for the products you were looking at, in your main account.
- Ukv 3y agoI think wording like "browse the web privately", the disguise icon, and the name of "incognito" can very easily suggest that the purpose is hiding your identity from websites.
- notyourwork 3y agoReminds me of Tesla full self driving. It’s not really fully autonomous but we will call it that anyway.
- WhackyIdeas 3y agoI’d go further - people would think it meant that not even Google would be recording their browsing.
