Interesting. Changes don’t get you privacy, but you do get a warning.
Time to take up fishing…
It’s all good they’re going to include a warning : “We’ve been lying to you all this time”
If you want a Chrome based browser, there are many alternatives. Brave and Comodo Dragon, to name two.
I don’t know enough about how all this works. does this trickle down to any browser using chromium ?
I can’t believe anyone thought otherwise. All incognito mode does is not store the sites visited in your history. The info is still there.
I watched one of those pedophile sting videos a few days ago. The perp thought by using incognito mode that law enforcement couldn’t track the sites he visited or retrieve the private messages sent to the victim.
Anyone who has been paying attention for the last 20 years or so already knows that the primary reason for Google’s existence it to track you,
The reason google still tracks you is because of the sensors on the phone. I am listing a few of the many steps you can use to actually stop your phone from spying on your location, or going further to prevent messages from your car, etc. There is a sensor that detects any movement or one that detects sound nearby or from your phone - which other phones actively look for to help locate you on the network. Some sensors on/off require you to go into different Apps to change settings. Remember the first steps listed below are just to get you headed in the right direction.
To access Advanced Settings on your Android device, you first need to enable Developer Options. To do this, go to your phone’s “Settings,” scroll down to “About phone,” and tap on “Build number” seven (7) times. You’ll then be prompted to enter your device’s PIN or unlock pattern to enable Developer Options.
After your Developer Options is enabled, go back to the main “Settings” menu, look for “Developer options” and tap on it. In the Developer Options menu, locate “Quick Settings Developer Tiles” and tap on it. search for “Sensors Off.” This feature allows you to disable all sensors on your Android phone with a single toggle. Once you find it, tap on the toggle switch next to “Sensors Off” to enable this function. YOU CANNOT JUST STOP WITH THIS STEP. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MORE STEPS SO GOOGLE A LIST OF THEM OR YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THE SUBJECT.
Turning off sensors may affect the performance of certain apps or features that rely on sensor data. If you encounter any issues, simply revisit the Quick Settings Developer Tiles and toggle the “Sensors Off” switch to its original position.
REMEMBER: There are more steps to do, so you cannot just here. You need to spend another 30 minutes or so to re-enable some features like the camera, or phone, but you will need to google OR YOUTUBE the rest of them.
Does this mean they know I googled Tub Girl?
If it’s electronic....it’s trackable.
Sea Monkey for the win.
We soon will be forced to have VPN.
NOrd VPN is pretty good.
One can always run Tor Browser. That drives some social media platforms crazy, their tracking algorithim freaks out.. Facebook goes all woggly when I log on with Tor, even aftr I verify my ID. Believe me....they WANT to track you.
