   Chrome's private browsing is broken

   This defeats the purpose of Incognito. If any website is able to tell you're browsing in private mode, then the browser is leaking data that shows it's not private

      @cypnk hilariously enough, firefox with noscript working actually breaks this notification. it tries to pop up but doesn't stick around.

      So, if I understand it correctly, it's not broken, it's working the way it has been designed to. As is the Private browsing of Firefox.

      Also, fuck sites that do this. This is absolutely unnecessary.
