It’s not even “Incognito” (what a misnomer too), this is a Gecko-based browser

    Thx. It’s weird, but I guess that’s now part of Firefox now, to be hypocrites.

    Also why the heck does the browser need to ping Google every time I launch a private session? I can’t even fathom a reasonable answer.

      Did you opt in to sending your usage statistics to Google wine you first installed Chrome?

            IceRaven - FF for Android fork that tries to remove all this crap but isn’t 100% there yet due to all the nonsense Mozilla includes.

            Generic FF did the same last time I used it. I think Mull doesn’t, but I haven’t used it in a while.
