    Wait… people actually think that incognito means that they don’t record your searches??

    I thought everybody knew that all incognito does is preventing your searches from showing up in your search history.

    Did anyone actually think that these big tech companies would willingly give you an option to keep your searches private from them?

    Hello???

    Always assume that everything you do online is being recorded and seen by someone. Unless you’re a master computer wiz or whatever the fuck they call it these days, ALWAYS ASSUME YOUR ACTIVITY ONLINE IS PUBLIC.

      This is the consequence of wrapping everything in glossy plastics and dumbed down UI for decades. People don’t want to learn, and even if they do it’s all hidden away behind blobs and bloats.
