    I always thought private browsing was just so all the porn content doesn’t stay in search history’s and the address bar doesn’t auto fill fatasshonkeybabes.com if my grandmother sits down to look at her Facebooks.

        And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.

            Very non tech savvy person here, that is just a normie reddit refugee. I know what Linux is, but have never really worked with it. Don’t have an opinion about it. I recently installed a pi hole in my home network by following step by step instructions. That’s the most techy stuff I ever did in my life and I would have never dared to try it, if I hadn’t read a comment on lemmy that linked an easy introduction into working with raspberry pis.

                I did know of pi hole before, but had no idea how to even start to set it up. Without the instructions I wouldn’t have tried it.

                I did not save the site and it was in my native language, so probably not even useful to you. Sorry

                Try searching yourself or ask around on lemmy. I assure you, it is worth it.

            I saw a lot of normal people who just didnt want reddit anymore. So here are a lot of non tech savy people too without even knowinng Linux.

      Private browsing in Google Chrome will not store your browsing data locally into your computer; but Google will still keep that data in their own records.
