Google actually tracks associates everywhere you visit in incognito mode in chrome and associates it with your main user id. So whatever pornhub knows, so does google.

I do not believe that was ever the case. They track searches, sure, but it is not associated with your user id. The way they treat incognito browsers is just like a freshly installed firefox browser that's never been logged into a google account. They're logged as anonymous searches.

What about firefox incognito with ublock origin? I wouldn't trust Chrome at all (unless 100% open source independent build) due to extremely strong incentives for tracking
