Turns out to be all but private. I'm sure as many of you are in no way surprised by this, but I know a few people for claim incognito mode is the be all and end all of privacy woes...
As if a company who makes billions in creating data points on browsing personalities are going to offer a complete anonymity mode.

Of course they still know what you're up to.
As everyone knows, the only real benefit of "incognito" mode is to ensure your other half is unaware that you're planning to buy them a really great gift for an upcoming birthday/anniversary, etc.

OTOH, they can't do anything more than the broadest statistical crunches or alogrythmic responses on the several billion Google searches every hour. Personalised, individual snooping is simply not feasible, unless you've somehow flagged yourself up as worth looking at. |  |

The advances in big data processing will soon challenge that idea, whilst a person isn't peering in on the other side of a screen, we're still lining plenty of people's pockets. | |

That's mostly people selling (supposedly) targeted advertising data to each other. Blocs of "these people looked at this so may be interested in your product" info. Which is, in turn, ignored or erased from our screens by ad-blockers.
It's all automatic if-then-else routines, not individual, conscious blackmail. Otherwise there'd be no need for phishing. | |

It is going beyond if then else algorithms already though, and will continue to escalate. So called neural network data processing is in a position to do more than pigeon hole users into groups for targeted advertising.
While we're not in the realms of minority report policing, big data is already being used to predict crime forecasts, time as well as location. This is based on crime statistics and criminal databases. It is hardly a stretch to be skeptical about the way machine learning backed data processing could be used on a big collection of personal data in the future. The race is always to do as much as one can before regulation is introduced. | |

Tho known criminals do tend to be flagged individuals, thus worth looking at in more detail. A special case compared with the average bod on the street. | |

That is one ingredient in a very big cake.
