> When you turn on Incognito mode in Maps, your Maps activity on that device [...] won’t be saved to your Google Account and won’t be used to personalize your Maps experience.
This doesn't state that it won't be used to profile you on Google. Dose it?
Is Incognito Mode real privacy browsing? Doesn't it just don't save history abs cookies after all tabs are closed ?

After this and this [1] I must say I'm in favor of DoH.
I know for sure every major application/game on every device/platform will also hijack DNS queries with their own DoH client and redirect them to their own DNS resolver.
I know for sure that by the time OS implementations are here every application will already have their DoH client built-in up and running for so long nobody will no care anymore.
I know IPSs are just being lazy. I know they will bypass DoH in a couple of months by filtering IPs or deep package inspection or something else.
But is good to see them pissed of once in a while.

SIM Swap [1] is not covered by this. SIM Swap is a social engineering attack powered by PII leaking from everywhere and for long time. Today, SIM Swap attackers don't even need to use phishing or buy PII from ilegal sources. After so many leaks, peoples full name, mother name, addresses, credit cards, SSNs are all over the internet. Just Google it.

Ads maybe but phones are personal as much as your contacts list and metadata leaks.
