Agreed. I am as anti-Google as most users here, but I have no problem admitting that I don't think I have ever seen a browser misrepresent what its private mode is doing. If a user misunderstands how it works, that is really just their own misinterpretation of the description on the label. That, or perhaps another mistaken user explained private mode to them, overselling its capabilities because they assumed it works that way.
