Indeed. I had no idea that my lame joke would get Stefan's serious
reaction, but in this reality, all we can expect from "anonymous
browsing" is that the next person who opens our web browser won't be
confronted by our browsing history. That's not nothing -- it's a
valuable thing -- but we can't in any serious way present that mode as
being "anonymous".
We're still being tracked, and people at risk have to use completely
different methods to remain safe. I mean, safer.
