In other news, Google has been found to have retained all the data that it said it did not have, and then promised to delete.

Incognito has always been about not storing your browser history on your computer. It’s so that “hentai tentacle redneck porn” is not showing up as first result as soon you’re typing “h” when your family is around. It has never been about preventing tracking.
