Especially when you do this, considering a lot of privacy extensions are disabled by default in incognito mode (at least in FF), so there's less blocking of tracking elements.

(Also, unless you change your DNS provider or use a (proper) VPN, I believe your ISP sees everything no matter what, though I could be wrong about the latter.)

On the other hand, if this is a woosh situation & it's a joke, well, then, eh, I've seen funnier. ¯\_ (•_•) _/¯

This is only true if you set your browser that way. On firefox I have all extensions be able to work in incognito. I believe you can do this on chrome too but I don't use that.

This is why I said "by default".

I'm pretty sure the FF default is to ask whether you want any extension to work in private windows, too.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah and I love this little prompt. For chrome, you have to dig through the menus for every extension

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, but I believe until you made a decision it defaults to not enabling it.

HTTPS sends the domain in plaintext with SNI. Has to work that way due to IPv4 address exhaustion.

Sometimes having those privacy extensions make you a lot easier to fingerprint.

Not if you randomize a few things, than your fingerprint keeps geeting unique but different each time !
