    There are a lot of people that choose browsers for personal preferences and ease of using the web. I found this article in an op-ed by PJ Media but originally posted on Bloomberg News.

    Google's Incognito Mode is not private Google is currently the target of a class action lawsuit in California over its misleading claims of privacy. Court documents obtained by Bloomberg reveal that a Google engineer suggested in 2018 that the Incognito mode icon be changed to “Guy Incognito,” a Simpsons character who looks exactly like Homer Simpson except for his mustache. According to the Google employee, the character “accurately conveys the level of privacy [Incognito mode] provides” compared to Chrome’s standard browsing mode.

    What search engine and browser do you use? Say this isn't true?
