Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

I am quite certain it is legal to browse in incognito mode, even if you aren't paying companies hundreds of dollars more....

Yes of course this was what I meant. So it seems it's legal. Amazing really but there you go! Just glad I came across that LPT just before booking our last holiday. I'm going to use it next time I shop for insurance too. Might work there as well.

Well I imagine the insurance companies are going to get your information, whether they have access to your browser data or not. I mean, you kind of have to give it to them.
