> The fact that the user uses a private window or other means to indicates they don't want to be tracked probably makes this a more clear case.

What about the fact that Incognito is so that "other people who use this device won't see your activity" and it doesn't do anything about tracking?



This is actually no longer true: Google recently added third party tracker blocking when you're in incognito mode. Of course, every other browser does this even outside of incognito mode, but the point stands that Google has actively added features to prevent websites from tracking you in this mode.


But they have actively disabled the abilities of add-ons to do the job completely. There's a lot of except-Google going on in Chrome.

I switched back to Firefox last year, and it's been a good change. uBlock Origin can do all of its job and not just some of the job.
