Chrome Now Prevents Sites From Checking for Private Browsing Mode
https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/30/chrome-76-thwarts-private-browsing-mode/ [engadget.com]
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!
Of course you have a purpose -- to find a purpose.
