As promised, Google is ready to make websites respect Incognito mode whether they like it or not. The company has released Chrome 76 for Linux, Mac and Windows, closing a loophole that let sites detect private browsing by looking for the presence of a key framework. If you're tired of sites insisting that you either sign in or use the standard mode, relief is in sight.
We've tested the new approach ourselves, and it appears to work with at least a couple of news outlets that previously stopped Incognito users who didn't sign in.
Begun, the incognito wars have!

The internet's too big and life's too short to bicker with jackass corporate webmasters. Like Sears, they have outgrown their youth, and are now focused on controlling their customer, that is those who will tolerate it.
Just ignore them like that overpriced eatery. Google already shows me sites I won't go to because I already know the rude reception I got last time I visited. You know, kinda like the pharmacy that has people blocking the entrance trying to get a dollar out of you before they will get out of your way.
Just know there exist highly paid business people who will actually hire webmasters to code scripts to do the same thing in front of their internet portal.
