I Had No Idea

So I admit I’m not the most “techie” person on the planet.  I always tell everyone I know just enough to get me in trouble.  I did want to pass this along though.  Evidently if you use Google as a search engine there is a mode I had no idea existed.  I took a screenshot of it so you could see it too.  It’s called incognito mode.  I have gone over the years to great lengths then some to keep private online.  I have even downloaded Duck Duck Go.  But for whatever reason I always wind up using Google.  So when I saw the incognito mode on Google I was like what tha?  That’s cool.  It says it keeps your identity private and doesn’t record your every search so you are not blasted with unwanted ads just because you went down a rabbit hole one evening and wound up looking at straw hats to wear while vacationing in Columbia South America, with absolutely no plans of ever going there but then all of a sudden you have ten thousand ads telling you what kind of great deals you can get on travel.  So now you know, Google has a incognito mode, but here’s the kicker, I’m going to have to google how to engage that feature because I had just accidentally hit the keyboard here on the laptop and that screen came up but I don’t know how what key or keys I hit to bring it up and now my paranoid mind is not wanting to do a regular google search because i don’t want them to know.  lol

As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
