I just opened an incognito tab on Chromium:

> Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won’t see your activity. However, downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved. Learn more

> Your activity might still be visible to: Websites you visit Your employer or school Your internet service provider

'Learn more' takes here:

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/9845881?visit_id=63...

Nowhere on the tab itself does it say that Google isn't still spying on you. It also doesn't state the opposite, but the starting sentence 'You can browse privately' is disingenuous.

The 'Learn more' link even states:

"Chrome doesn’t tell websites, including Google, when you're browsing privately in Incognito mode."

Which is obviously a blatant lie.
