Um what? > Now you can browse privately So consumers are insane for thinking they can browse privately. Is it “private” if you’re being tracked?

  What "privately" means is fuzzy. Clearly it can't be entirely private, because there's several ways that information can get leaked out and is outside of the browser/computers control (eg. someone looking behind you, or the various middleboxes in between your computer and the web server). If you read the notice in its entirety, you'd know what the notice meant by "privately". Likewise, if you read my comment in its entirety, you'd see that I explicitly acknowledged that the notice wasn't super obvious and required some reading comprehension, and my objection was with the "google finally admitting" characterization. >Sure, this doesn't explicitly say "this is useless for privacy", and figuring out what incognito mode does requires some reading comprehension

  If you were “not being tracked” to the degree you seem to be assuming, then you couldn’t even log into a website, as you have to be “tracked” for it to know you’re the same person who logged in a second ago. They went so far as to put in the tautological warning that your activity “might” be visible to the websites you visit. Really, you think?
