There are other ways to fingerprint users, though if Google is using them they’re certainly not making it obvious by allowing users in incognito mode the ability to sign in to their associated account.

"fingerprinting" is a catch-all term, so I'm not sure what you're saying with "there are other ways to fingerprint users".

I’m using it as “(ab)using metadata to associate activity with users in a nonobvious or undesirable way”.
