much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.
Incognito/private are a bad name. You should pretty much use this to not save history, or to log into a site without using saves credentials and assume it's otherwise exactly the same as a normal browser session
Is that not how people have been using it?
Given the context of this thread, clearly not
I'm truly confused about what people expected.
It's not exactly the same tho. At least in Firefox there were/are still quite a few differences. Notably experimental privacy features and anti-fingerprinting measures are enabled in private windows
Fair enough, but it should not be considered "incognito"
"Cookieless". (Is that even accurate?)
I like cookieless, but there's also the history saving part. So... "Forgetful" "Goldfish" "Uprooted"
