As someone who’s not used Chrome for a while, what does it mean to be “signed into a regular widow”? Does it mean signed in to a Google account with cookies that can be seen by a regular browser tab, or is there some login process to the actual browser itself these days?
Sign in to what though? That’s what I still don’t understand, I’ve never used a browser that had a mandatory account (except maybe AOL in the 90s but that wasn’t really a browser)…
But of course, downloading Firefox is definitely the right choice. :)
they are claiming that you have to be signed into chrome, the browser, in order to open an incognito window.
yea, it sounds a little crazy. i don’t use chrome, so i can’t confirm that’s the case. i haven’t run into any articles claiming this either, just this post and one other elsewhere awhile back that does.

Yeah, I got signed out when the new tracking updates went live, figured I’d just use incognito.
But I couldn’t even open an incognito window, it kept bringing up a normal one and saying I had to sign in to use chrome.
So I downloaded Firefox.

OK then this is my culture shock because I’ve never “signed in” to a browser in my life. All I want to know is what are people signing in to?
