Just dump Google's browser and all their services. They are not necessary to make use of the internet.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The updated text, spotted by MSPowerUser, can be found in the latest Canary build of Google Chrome, version 122.0.6251.0.
These point out that browsing activity might still be visible to “Websites you visit,” “Your employer or school,” and “Your internet service provider.”
The change provides “even more information to users about Incognito Mode,” Google spokesperson José Castañeda said in an email to The Verge.
He said the company is “pleased to resolve this case which we’ve long disputed,” adding that Incognito mode prevents browsing activity from being saved to users’ devices.
“As we clearly state each time you open a new incognito tab, websites might be able to collect information about your browsing activity during your session,” Castañeda told The Verge in a statement last year.
But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers was unconvinced by this argument when she denied Google’s bid for summary judgment in August last year.
