Don't forget it also makes it more difficult for the NSA to follow what you're doing. Instead of checking your computer, they have to go to your ISP and the websites you visit.On Tuesday, June 11, 2013 06:35:20 PM Michael Havens wrote:
I tried to share with you startpage.com this morning (and accidently sent something else which not everyone appreciated). My question is, is this not the same as google chrome's incognito window? If not would someone explain to me what the benefits of the incognito window is.

Incognito, along with Firefox's Private Browsing Mode and Internet Explorer's similar thing is all intended for people who want to watch porn on their computer but not have to worry about their significant other checking their browsing history and finding out they were watching porn.
Sure, there are other uses, like surfing without annoying adds tracking you across websites, but really, the browser history is the main issue.
