I wish I remembered the name of that one site I found halfway down the rabbit hole, though.

    Incognito mode was never meant to hide your traffic from the internet. It’s only to hide it from your browser cache/history.

    In other words, everyone on the internet still knows the disgusting websites you visit. It just doesn’t leave traces on your computer for your family to find.

      You’re correct, of course, but this is funnier. Also, please don’t shame. If I want to watch videos of people putting ketchup on steak, that’s my business.

    The NSA manages something on the order of dozens of Zetabytes of information. I am not particularly worried about them linking my IP address to “FartSnifferFanatic.toot”

    However, I am very concerned with FartSnifferFanatic.toot littering my browser history and cookies cache with trackers that Amazon can then use to suggest purchase ideas.
