Pretty sure it's always been upfront with that it still tracks you? I always thought of it as a "don't store history and cookies locally" thing and nothing more. Maybe I read that disclaimer with more cynicism than most?
The language it uses/used to use was rather ambiguous, especially for less tech savvy people.
Perhaps it wasn't false, but it definitely wasn't upfront.
What about it is ambiguous or not written for less tech savvy people?
It is implied that google is not storing any tracking information...
Not really...
If your employer, your ISP, and the websites you visit can see your browsing history, why is the implication that Google isn't storing tracking info?
