Google's Secret Tracking Warning For All 3 Billion Chrome Users
You are being tracked — how to stop it. getty It's hard to know where Chrome is going at the moment when it comes to tracking its 3 billion users. The promise to kill cookies is essentially dead, with even regulators reportedly assuming that's the case. Meanwhile, Google and the ad industry continue their slow two-step routine, with nothing likely to change anytime soon. There are some footnotes to all this. Google has unbanned digital fingerprinting, widening its remit beyond browsers to a raft of smart devices including TVs and gaming consoles. While the company's stock Android apps have been caught tracking users, even when the apps themselves are not being used or even opened. Now we have another secretive tracking warning for all those users. This time, Google is playing gamekeeper rather than data poacher, warning users that there are 'known, prevalent techniques for browser re-identification used in third-party contexts.' What this means is abusing third-party APIs working within Chrome to harvest fingerprints that can then be searched to identify the specific browser and user. Google has a plan to 'block the execution of these techniques' within Chrome's Incognito mode, which it says 'generally involve the use of existing browser APIs in ways that do not match the API's intended purpose and are designed to extract additional information about the user's browser or device characteristics.' Blocking this browser fingerprinting in Incognito mode would at least allay the risk that users are being tracked when they have specifically opted to browse privately without any such secret tracking operating behind the scenes. Google confirms its Chrome team 'has developed a methodology to identify widely used JavaScript functions that provide consistent outputs from stable and high-entropy web APIs and can therefore be used to construct probabilistically high-entropy identifiers.' In short, a blacklist of workarounds and websites it can automatically block. Users will be able to opt in (or likely out) of this protection. 'When the feature is enabled, Chrome will check network requests against the blocklist, including detecting CNAME aliases. When there is a match, active content from those domains will be blocked (e.g., scripts, iframes), but not static resources (e.g., images, stylesheets).' Google also says it will introduce mechanisms to 'prevent simple evasion tactics such as renaming or slightly modifying the script.' With tracking cookies seemingly here to stay and fingerprinting back, Incognito mode is fast becoming more critical for users tied to Chrome but interested in privacy protections as well, better matching the defaults in Safari and Firefox. This includes IP address protection, which is also being designated as just for Incognito mode. Google says 'the feature will be available for users in Chrome's Incognito Mode only, on Android and Desktop platforms. It will be on by default in Incognito. Users will have the ability to disable it. For enterprise-managed versions of Chrome, the feature can be enabled in Incognito, but it will be off by default to ensure that enterprise site compatibility and their user workflows are not impacted.'

Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder: Viral Wedding Video Of Unhappy Sonam Raghuvanshi Sparks Outrage After Her Arrest
A viral wedding video showing Sonam Raghuvanshi appearing "unhappy" as her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, applied sindoor to her forehead has ignited social media debates following her arrest in the chilling Meghalaya honeymoon murder case. Sonam, accused of orchestrating her husband's murder, surrendered in Uttar Pradesh on Monday, June 9, after a two-week manhunt. Wedding Video Fuels Speculation The brief video, which has gone viral on sites such as X, showed Raja, 29, putting vermilion on Sonam's forehead at their May 11 wedding in Indore. Netizens have flagged Sonam's face, calling her "clearly not happy," and generating gossip about what may have motivated her. The clip emerged just hours after Sonam, 24, was arrested at a dhaba in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, on June 9, when the body of Raja was found dumped in a Meghalaya gorge on June 2. Just take a look at this wedding video of Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi and you will agree that Sonam was clearly not happy with this marriage. Raja Raghuvanshi would have been alive if Sonam had said No to the marriage. She had the courage to hire contract killers but didn't had… — Incognito (@Incognito_qfs) June 9, 2025 Murder Investigation And Arrests Meghalaya Police accused Sonam of contracting killers, including her suspected paramour Raj Kushwaha, to kill Raja on their honeymoon in Sohra, East Khasi Hills. Raja's body, discovered in a gorge by Weisawdong Falls, had two head injuries from a sharp instrument, probably a bloodied machete recovered in the area. A missing gold chain and ring worth Rs 10 lakh heightened suspicions of criminality. Four others—Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Raj Kushwaha, and Anand Patel—were detained in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. On Monday, an Indore court gave seven-day transit remand to Rajput, Chauhan, and Kushwaha, who were also medically examined before being handed over to Meghalaya Police for further interrogation. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia confirmed the suspects did indeed know one another, two of whom were friends of Kushwaha, Sonam's alleged accomplice. Sonam's Innocence Claims Sonam insisted that she was a victim, not the offender, alleging she was kidnapped and looted, waking up in Ghazipur without any recollection of what happened over the previous days. Her father, Devi Singh, vouches for her innocence, blaming Meghalaya Police for lying about the case and requesting a CBI investigation. But police point to CCTV images, call details, and Sonam's supposed collaboration with Kushwaha as proof of a premeditated conspiracy. Family And Public Responses Raja's mother, Uma Raghuvanshi, disclosed that Sonam demanded Raja be dressed in costly jewellery, valued at Rs 10 lakh, for the journey, fueling rumours about her motives. Raja's brother Vipul mentioned the quick change of plans by the couple from going to Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati to Shillong, which Sonam organized. On X, there has been public outrage, with users blaming Sonam's supposed betrayal and wondering why she could not have rejected the arranged marriage. Investigation Continues Meghalaya Police, with SP Vivek Syiem leading the charge, are bringing Sonam to Shillong for a crime scene reenactment. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) continued investigating the case, and one suspect remained on the loose. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma commended the police action, which was taken quickly, highlighting Meghalaya's safety as a tourist destination despite the high-profile crime.
