| Nov 10, 2020 at 13:51 | comment | added | Jay Shah | I asked a separate question for this and am trying my best to structure it, but the response is not quite good :( Anyway, thank you for your answer and your time. | |

| Nov 10, 2020 at 9:23 | comment | added | marianoju | @JayShah You are changing the scope of your question. You initial question was “Does Google collect and store data about activity done in Incognito mode?“ which has been answered extensively. Now you are asking “Does Google Chrome send search history data to Google?”. Please consider posing a new question. | |
| Nov 10, 2020 at 6:33 | comment | added | Jay Shah | I forgot to add, that this question essentially asks, "If Google owns Chrome, and if Chrome stores history (I don't have google account), the history belongs to Google(whether I like it or not). Is that so if I do activities in Incognito as well? Incognito surely doesn't save anything on my computer and keeps me incognito from my family, but is my search incognito to Google?" | |
| Nov 10, 2020 at 4:41 | comment | added | Jay Shah | The moral of the story is that whether or not the website you go to is Google owned or not, your entire search history or search journey will be stored in your history tab (ctrl+h). So if Chrome stores this SEARCH JOURNEY in the history tab, and Google OWNES Chrome, I think it means Google gets the entire SEARCH JOURNEY regardless of the website sending any info to google or not. Do you see my logic? Just because Google ownes Chrome browser, and that Chrome stores our entire search history (searches, specific websites/pages/URLs visited) REGARDLESS I have a Google account or not. Your say? | |

You browse some search results and click on a YouTube video. You just see a preview of the documentary, so you close YouTube. You go back, and browse for some other result. You click a link that takes you to Vimeo and you finally get a documentary titled DIVIDED WE FALL by Valarie Kaur. | |
