Do web browser private modes protect user privacy or just give the appearance of privacy?

Incognito just doesn’t record your browsing history, but your internet provider still has a record for a certain length of time. If you use incognito plus a VPN you’re doing better. Google can probably still pull out what you searched for some period of time though if they really wanted to, like if a government asked them for some reason. Or the government could force the VPN company to tell them. But if you’re having a government ask your VPN what you’ve been searching for, you really been searching things you shouldn’t have lol. So get a VPN and Bob’s your uncle for all (most) intents and purposes.
