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 It might be as simple as detecting the absence of the cookies that litter the web normally. :-/
@pnathan Which means MIT Review is scattering cookies all across the web (since HTTPS requested cookies shouldn't cross-pollinate across domains). That's a bigger problem if true
@cypnk I am speculating out of my butt.
but if I wanted to detect private mode, I'd try to integrate with popular sites and if their cookies were not set, I'd heuristically estimate that the person was probably in a private mode. ::shrug::
