No, this was incognito.

No, he is correct. Regarding incognito it's not storing your searches LOCALLY. Server side, it is still storing a lot of information based on what it can get (ip, webkit, cookies if applicable). Further, Google's search algorithm is based on collective searches not just your own
-
Further, it CAN be personalized if you are logged in to Google or Gmail or any account associated with Google (Instagram, Facebook, anything) i.e. anything that is set up to log in using your Google account. Again, incognito mode is all about local storage and sending

Do not track requests. If a site ignores these and/or is not built to understand the do not follow requests, then it really doesn't matter

Want the law to stay the heck out of it! It's OUR responsibility not to support companies that censor, use child labor, harm the environment, etc. OUR responsibility, as free individuals. Be a wave of informed consumers - far more powerful than our corrupt gov. could ever be.

You're mistaken, Zalman. Please see this thread:https://twitter.com/Ike_Saul/status/1143944163030908929?s=20 …
