@[email protected] Privacy should never be assumed on the internet.

It should however be the default setting for any interaction.

@[email protected] 'Incognito mode' now called 'Firefox'

Not really surprised. That's why I use Firefox and lately started to switch to Brave.

Oh, the good old days when a client, who didn't want anyone to see company images and files, demanded I made his computer absolutely private and not detectable 'on the internet'.
I said "Oh, I can do that."
And I pulled out his computer's plug.

@[email protected] As I mentioned elsewhere, Google is long past any reasonable benefit of the doubt.

Next, we'll learn incognito mode on Gboard still sends data home.

@[email protected] Solution: don't use chrome.

@[email protected] Time to use Librewolf, Firefox and Firefox Focus for those times. Why do these fuckers need to know what kind of smut I read and watch anyways?
