Gmail on incognito mode crashes, throws 404 error, Twitterati rage over fiasco

Tech giant Google was on the receiving end of Twitter's rage on Tuesday afternoon as its e-mail service Gmail reportedly went down on incognito mode. Twitter users from across the world took to the micro-blogging site and claimed that they were unable to access Gmail. Screenshots of Gmail throwing a 404 error were also shared by Twitter users. In India, the error seemed to be only with the incognito mode as Gmail was accessible in normal window.

A Twitter user who goes by the name James claimed that he wasn't able to access his inbox even after deleting cookies. James claimed that he was facing the issue both on PC as well as mobile. "@gmail like the thousands of other people tweeting you, I can’t access my inbox, getting a 404 error.  Tried mobile and pc, deleted cookies and all that but still nothing?! I can access other google related services!!??" he tweeted. 

Another Twitter users claimed that none of his Google apps were working. "Anybody else get this message? Trying to open Gmail. The same goes for Google Account. The rest of the Google apps works," he tweeted. 

Here are some reactions:
