I have my activity watch extension off in private windows but idk how the search history from incognito tabs is showing in the summary
i have even rechecked the words which are in the summary from incognito tab from the local history (where there is no word detected we can definitely say the search word is from incognito)

Hope you recheck it once
used browser : Brave

thankyou for your work :)

I could not reproduce this in the Brave browser. Maybe you have a window watcher active and confused that data with the data from the addon? If a addon with disabled private window permission could read data from private windows this would be a major security bug in the brave browser.

Are you sure this is coming from the web browser watcher? Could be the desktop / window watcher reporting window titles like "... Incognito" / "... Private Browsing". This is what I see with Firefox (running AW on my Ubuntu desktop).
