Chrome Private Mode Not Quite Private

wiplash writes "Google Chrome appears to store at least some information related to, and including, the sites that you have visited when browsing in Incognito mode. Lewis Thompson outlines a set of steps you can follow to confirm whether you are affected. He has apparently reported this to Google, but no response has yet been received."

    You are kidding, right?

    So I jump on your computer and browse to red-hot-midget-porn.net and find that the zoom level isnt the default value...

    Do I conclude that (A) you don't like red-hot-midget-porn?, or (B) you do like red-hot-midget-porn?

    Well in any case, I'm pretty sure that everyone likes red-hot-midget-porn, so maybe this is a bad example.

    Yeah, seems this only affects the beta versions from their Dev channel.

    Man that's evil! Putting bugs in their betas so they can spy on us...
