So I know incognito mode doesn't hide all aspects of your browsing from the law or your ISP, duh. However I was looking at some jewelry gift ideas for my girl friend in incognito mode yesterday and when I logged onto my face book today I saw all 3 of the things I looked at the most right there in an ad. How did that data get pulled and what can I do in the future to hide all of it?

The sites you were browsing had scripts that connected to facebook and facebook used this as identifying information to build a shadow profile of your activity and then use that profile to sell advertising based on the relevance to you.

I remember Chrome (at least in previous versions havent used it in forever) used your exact situation for Incognito mode. Buying gifts for people in secret and I thought it was funny they assumed that. It's used for porn mostly.

>search rubber ducks in incognito
>log in to facebook on normal browsing
>see amazon advertisements for rubber ducks everywhere

I guess either using adblock helps or it makes it so you can't tell if they are stalking you. Facebook is creepy as fuck. Soon it'll effect your credit rating etc. Look up a virus and then your shipped off to quarantine.
If you want to be incognito more load something generic in a vm and browse with a vpn.
incognito just prevents local history logging, it doesn't hide anything from third parties
the only "third party" it'll hide things from is your mother

Use anti-trackers like Ghostery (which probably are botnets themselves).
it baffles me why anyone thinks incognito mode is useful for anything at all

Browser fingerprinting and/or flash if you still have that shit installed
