I’ve always wondered whether I should bother about doing this. I assumed if I read the article in a Private Browser, no cookies are stored, and therefore none of my information is tracked?
I'm not quite sure if they're allowed to use your IP to index your history or not. If you use private browser and VPN you'll be fine.
I've just never worked out how to easily open private browsers from my mobile sync client
I think the easiest way is to use the share
...
menu to get the link and then paste it in the private browser.But yeah, no way to stop the keyboard app from seeing the link once it's in the clipboard... And Google also probably gets it from the android share functionality...
