bruh chill, how tf they lying? the feature works exactly as expected/advertised. it's not Mozilla's fault if people don't know how to read.
"Important: Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet. Your Internet service provider, employer, or the sites themselves can still gather information about pages you visit. Private Browsing also doesn't protect you from keyloggers or spyware that may be installed on your computer. To learn more, see Common Myths about Private Browsing."

Not ironic at all. If missing the point was a flavor, you'd be the most delicious dish.
When Mozilla says that "Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet" you're saying they're lying? Are you telling me that private browsing does make you Anon? In that case you're the liar.
Of course I'm going to link to Mozilla to give an example of their claims (true or not.) maybe if you think that they're lying about the claim of "private browsing not making you anonymous" try to provide some reasoning as to why :)
