Can websites track you in Incognito mode?
Google Incognito mode allows users to browse the web without their activity being saved to their browser history. However, it does not make users completely anonymous, as websites can still track their activities.
To use Incognito mode on Chrome, simply open a new window and click on the three dots menu in the top right corner. Then, select New Incognito Window to start browsing privately without your history being tracked.
While Google has stated that Incognito mode prevents your browsing history from being saved, websites can still track your activities using other methods such as cookies. Its important to be cautious about the information you share online, even when using private browsing modes.
By settling this lawsuit, Google has taken a step towards restoring user trust and establishing more transparent practices when it comes to privacy. However, users should remain vigilant and take ownership of their online security to protect their personal information.|
