News & Reviews:   Incognito Mode

Back in 2020, Google was sued for secretly tracking and collecting its users' data when using Google Chrome's Incognito Mode. It has been four years since then and today, Google finally gave in and agreed to delete billions of data records from that platform.

For some of us working at home now, it's become even more imperative that we get some privacy on our Internet browser. The Incognito Mode for Google Chrome helps with this, but it's easy to forget about it if you don't use it often. It doesn't help that you have to manually open an Incognito window.

This isn’t really shocking, really. According to a recent study, Google and Facebook could potentially be tracking your visits to porn sites even when you’re on incognito mode. Google has trackers on 74% of the porn sites, Facebook on 10% and Oracle on 24%. Yikes.
