Does Texas' Idiot Attorney General Have a Point About Incognito Mode?
And while he may be half bonkers in other areas, he's got a serious point.
A reasonable bystander would see a feature called Incognito Mode and believe it blocks tracking both on and off the host computer, but they'd only be half right. While Chrome's incognito mode does prevent your activity from being recorded on your computer or phone, it still sends telemetry back to Google and other advertisers that can be used to identify and serve ads and build a profile on you.
