So we took a family vacation recently and we had to drive halfway across America and what creeped me the fuck out was how we were getting such different prices on different phones while looking at the same hotel room on Priceline. For example I would look for a hotel in Chicago and find a room for a $180, then my cousin is also looking for a room on his phone and I look over and the same hotel room is $50-$70 cheaper. This kept on happening in every city we went to, like there was such a huge fluctuation between the prices one person would get on their phone and what someone else was getting. We noticed that the people with higher end Samsung phones were getting a much lower rate than those with cheaper phones. Have you ever experienced such price discrimination and is there really anyway to protect yourself from it? And do you think it’s ethical for companies to charge different rates for the same product? Should there be some legislation to protect consumers from this seeing as how AI is just going to make it easier for companies to price gouge consumers to the max.
Always shop around for prices in incognito mode.
Does that hide the device you are browsing on? I thought it just doesn’t save to your history and doesn’t share cookies between incognito and non-incognito tabs.
Incognito mode simply deletes any history and cookies stored in a given session. Your browser and device information can still be queried.

Dawg… It doesn’t do shit.
You browser is finger printed as if you killed JFK…
They know exactly who you are unless you got good opsec and even then
More like fresh browser, default settings, no cookies, no logins no nothing. Just straight to what you’re shopping for. Dont change windowsize, position,anything
Or use TOR browser which does all of that by default and more.
It won’t work with corpo daddy sites tho
I read that even with tor you shouldn’t mess with the window as to not make it unique
On a phone: Firefox focus and a VPN do well.
