dont use chrome. anyone even marginally concerned about privacy should be using firfox or brave or tor browser.

Is this not an issue with any private browsing mode? How is Chrome Incognito different from Firefox Private? If you login into Gmail on Firefox Private, you still get tracked, no?

from what i have heard they insert some headers or something like that. So this should be non issue for firefox private user.

The "X-Client-Data" Chrome header that I think you are referring to is not sent in Incognito mode according to this article: https://9to5google.com/2020/02/06/google-chrome-x-client-dat...

Firefox has demons of its own on this subject. Evangelism for it which basically is "it's not google" is getting more and more tired.

This is false equivalence. The size and number of demons are relevant.
