>"privately" was off which is why it says "more privately" now
The actually significant change is the addition of "This won’t change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google."
Which was obvious to anyone with basic tech knowledge already.
>Because it's the same company that was promising the privacy.
But WHICH privacy? It never promised that websites won't know who you are, you can still login into websites, you're still in the same IP. Should it automatically disable all cookies and route you through seven proxies so you can be truly "private"?
"Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won’t see your activity. However, downloads and bookmarks will be saved."
Can you tell me how the original Incognito mode disclaimer was misleading?
Even if it is detectable it shouldn't be detected, why would I want websites to act differently when I'm in private mode?
And if it did block Google's services from capturing the same data as they capture in non-private mode it would act as a sort of ad blocker, why should that be a function of private mode?
What Google was "caught" doing was exactly what it was doing in non-incognito mode already. Anyone expecting the websites you visit to know you're in private mode and to not log data is just lacking basic tech knowledge.
It is silly that Google had to explicitly state that in the disclaimer.
