Stop Using Chrome
Literally do not understand why the fuck anyone still uses that browser. If you want Chromium, use Vivaldi, use Brave, SHIT USE EDGE. STILL BETTER THAN CHROME.
Chrome is easily the most invasive browser, one of the worst when it comes to resource management, and one of the most locked down browsers.
Ideally you should just use Firefox.
Posing Brave as an alternative to Chrome is ridiculous. It's a crypto scam company that intends to profit from advertising. And they have been caught inserting referrals into url suggestions.
Don't know why you think Edge is better either. Microsoft is no more your friend than Google and they have every intention to collect as much data as possible.
If you want chromium, use a build of un-googled chromium. You don't need to replace one evil with another if you can just rip it out altogether.
You know Firefox has literally the exact same feature Google is being sued over, right? A lawsuit doesn't automatically have merit just because you don't like the party being sued.
Are you talking about private viewing mode? Firefox has it, but it may not be implemented the same and it may not have the same level of tracking.
Sounds like you may know though. What's the issue with Firefox's implementation?
I know exactly what Chrome does and I assume Firefox does the same because I don't know what else it would do. It basically acts as if you created a temporary profile that's deleted when you close the window. There's a little more to it than that, like being able to opt in to using extensions from your main profile, but basically it's just for things like preventing your family from seeing that you've been watching porn or shopping for Christmas presents.
People seem to get confused a lot because it doesn't use encryption, hide your IP address, or anything like that, and you can still be tracked if you sign into things in the private/incognito window.
The problem isn't the feature, it's the fact they still do things they said they are not doing while in incognito. I don't think I should get ads from stuff I look up while incognito.
