    I’m just using it to prevent my depraved, shameful porn searches from entering my browser’s autocomplete corpus. Learned that one fairly early on.

      No, you mean when you’re shopping for presents for your loved ones and you want to keep it a surprise.

      When I was a kid, porn was the first thing I search for on Google.

      Imagine my shock when Internet Explorer kept suggesting what I had searched whenever I started typing in the Google search box…

      It took me a while to understand that it wasn’t Google, it was my browser

      People could just use another browser profile, with it’s own set of bookmarks and uBlock in strict mode… Never saw much sense in “incognito” mode.

        Why don’t we replace the low effort open incogento mode with a more convoluted creating of a browser profile and installation and configuration of an app. You’re full of the best ideas.

        I use an entirely different browser (vivaldi), that way I can have all the logins and bookmarks and cookies I want and not have to worry about it.
