You guys are still using Chrome?
Incognito was never about privacy. It's about hiding your seach history from your parents or partner or whatever
and i'm pretty sure the browsers have been quite explicit about this for a long time now, but of course no one bothers to read "This won't change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google."

Incognito was never about hiding your data from Google, it was always about preventing random websites from getting your data
It doesn’t even do that. All it does is prevent persistent data from being stored from the browsing session (so, no disk cache or browsing history).
Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

Go to the website directly! Porn hub is not hard to spell! I spell it all the time even using no fingers at all!
This doesn’t change much if you use Google’s browser
No no, they said directly. No browser.
Pornhub headquarters is located at 21620 N 19th Ave, Phoenix, Arizona 85027

If anyone thought that Incognito somehow protected their data from websites or services, then that's their fault for jumping to that conclusion in the face of everything saying that's not the case.
Also...
In lawsuits settlement
In meme sentence, words disappear.
That was actually their lawyer's argument, that "incognito mode" being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.
Well yeah, that's the only possible argument that the lawyer could even have.

You’ve gone Incognito. Others who use this device won’t see your activity, so you can browse more privately. This won't change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google. Downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved.
- Google Chrome
I don't think anyone thought that "incognito mode" his anything from anyone except the other users of that particular computer
You vastly over estimate the average end user, half of them think using basic linux terminal commands constitutes hacking lel.
Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.
But they still won’t they’ll just make a more hidden copy
Incognito/Private Browsing came about when people were sharing computers more often. It doesn’t save history and cookies and whatnot on your device. It’s to prevent the next user from getting in to your bank account.
Google and whoever else will still know your IP and can use that to cross-reference whatever other data they have on you.

Am I the only one who only used incognito by accident when intending to select "open in new tab" from the context menu?
I use it to access the same site with different logins at the same time, or to let someone else log in to a service temporarily using my device
If this is something you do often, you might consider Firefox with the multi-account containers extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers
It allows unique/isolated profiles on a per-tab basis.
I've found it great for work, for the many things that require me to be logged into both the [email protected] and [email protected] accounts simultanously, to manage MS 365 things. But restricting social media to an isolated profile, multiple Google/Microsoft/whatever accounts, these are all possible.
That's literally the only time I've ever used it. Knowing what it is, I don't even need it. I have the settings set to erase all my history and most other stuff upon closing the browser. Which is exactly what incognito mode does, but temporarily for a single tab session.

Incognito was literally only good for opening a second session without you logged in. It did zero for privacy. Even their disclaimer said so.
firefox containers are amazing for this
Except it only keeps cookies separated, history is shared over all containers.
Firefox -p "Spanky"
Incognito, you mean porn mode?
Its a moot point once you sign into your Facebook account to "share with friends"

"He's the one who knocks!"
I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.
The raw data might be purged but no one talks about the ML modal that google trained with that data.
Of course they will! First you make a copy, then you delete the copy. Contractual terms satisfied.
Oops offshore backup mysteriously occurred.

Um was this surprising to anyone? I think we all assumed that this was the case no???
I think the techno illiterate boomers of the fediverse are probably flabbergasted
Doesn't it specifically say on a new incognito tab that this doesn't protect against sites or service providers from gathering information....and only stops you from storing local information (history, cookies, etc)? Do people actually think that incognito is adding privacy protection?
Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google's taking the local data (that's supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.
If they're saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I'd say, "Well, duh;" but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn't very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.
It has somewhat of a privacy protection because it's incapable of keeping cookies. The bar is in hell, but it passed it.
That was actually a result of this issue, where Google placed misleading statements in incognito and then proceeded to actively go around them.
