I get it, but do we all have to be experts about a product in order to use it? I own and drive a car, operate a blender, keep food in a refrigerator...but totally illiterate if it comes down to fixing or building my own version of these products. I buy them on faith that they are "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS).
I'm not advocating that everyone become an expert. But at least have adequate literacy to use the tool that is in your hands.
I also don't buy for a minute that somehow Incognito/private mode only preventing write to disk == expert, esoteric knowledge of the ancients that only the upper echelon of tech priests could possibly decode.
I've been noticing that google search has really gone to the dogs. Woof! When I do a weather search for my city, it brings up a few different websites, but the Weather Channel is at the top of the list and is repeated over and over again, one after the other. Many times I can't even find what I'm looking for on google search anymore either, it just keeps repeating the same dozen or so websites.
Today I was signed into gmail, something I seldom do unless I'm checking my emails (which is hardly ever because Proton Mail is so much better) and saw something very odd. If I was signed out of google, it showed my current temp was 40 degrees. After signing out of gmail it was 37! Looking at the weekly weather, similar discrepancies showed up every time I signed in and out of google.
I suspect that along w/ optimizing their searches to pull up the companies that pay them the most money, they're also using AI way too much, because that's about all I can think of that would cause this. Or something. Whatever it is, it also IS what it is. Pretty crappy.
Using Google is entirely voluntary. Why are you doing it?
For potentially decisive topics,…I will use multiple search engines. This includes Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. It’s amazing the differences in search results when it’s a potentially decisive topic (social/political). Google has been the most partisan of the search engines I’ve tried.

From most people, you're going to get some canned response about "its the best!" "That's what everyone uses!" "It's the default!" without even the slightest tinge of any self reflection.

*Divisive. The word you're looking for is divisive.
This massive misunderstanding of the scope of incognito/private browsing is only a testament to how severely computer illiterate the vast majority of the population is
Apparently, the judge is computer illiterate too and can't understand the Icognito splash screen to the tune of a $5 billion ask??
I get you, never trusted it. I read privacy statements and terms & conditions for fun, even google's. Now having to add separate state privacy policies....

"This ^^^ appears to be a decisive rejoinder of helpful, yet unsolicited, correction," he says in hopes that it won't turn "divisive."
Yes, "decisive" was a bit glaring in its repetition.
Oh. I don't trust Google or alphabet. Never did. Likely never will.
But, the internet is such a mess, does it matter?
