That moment I realized all my 'private' browsing was still tracked
I was looking at a pair of boots on my phone in incognito mode, then saw the exact same ad on my work laptop an hour later. That's when it hit me that Google still knows everything even when you think you're hiding, so what's the point of even trying to dodge their trackers?

I get that it feels creepy, but honestly you kind of signed up for this. Google's whole business model is tracking you across devices, incognito just hides your history from people who use your computer, not from their ad network. If you don't want targeted ads, switch to DuckDuckGo or use a VPN that blocks trackers. The real problem is people expecting privacy from a free service that makes billions off selling your data.

Exactly. "Signed up for this" sums it up. Free stuff has a price.
