Reminds me of the incognito hand puppet meme

Chrome now won't open an incognito window unless you're signed into a regular window.

If you try, it just opens a regular window and tells you to sign in.

If someone wants to use a VPN then they clearly care about privacy, which means they definitely know about Google's business practices. In conclusion, nobody is gonna be stupid enough to use this.
