Incognito was never meant to make you think you’re hiding anything from the browser that you’re typing everything into. It’s about loading a website without any prior context (i.e. cookies) and not saving the state when you’re done.
Incognito is useful for debugging cookie state issues without having to nuke your existing cache only to find out it wasn’t the issue.
It’s also useful when you have to log in on someone else’ computer. Open incognito, log in, do your business, close the window. No risk of accidentally staying logged in. (But if they’re actively trying to mitm you, incognito won’t matter. Just don’t use any devices that person has access to).
My brother in christ, plese get yourself a second browser profile. Keeping a history and bookmarks are wankchanging.
You forgot the #1 purpose: having a wank and leaving no browser history involving midgets and bukkake
I switched to firefox
I’ve been having trouble with it on in-browser video calls, so now I also use opera
Opera is probably the worst you can use. Browsers for privacy
Btw, Opera is owned by a chinese company and is about as private as google chrome.
LibreWolf. Hardened Firefox. Brave. Default Firefox. Something. PLEASENOTCHROME
Brave does very little to control Google’s influence on the web. Better than Chrome, but not by much.
Really if we wan the open internet to continue Firefox (and derivatives) or Safari the only options. I’m still sad that Edge was replaced by Chromium. Even though Microsoft isn’t great it is another engine that Google needs to convince to implement their crap.

Meh. Firefox is the best browser if you care about privacy and FOSS.
Brave is still based on Chromium and suffers from Google decisions. Remember when Google wanted to remove Manifest V2? Brave would also be affected by that. Yes, it is open source, but they do not have the resources to maintain a seperate codebase with Manifest V2 support while Google keeps updating Chromium without Manifest V2. Firefox ftw
When Chrome was first launched, so many people thought Incognito would be useless. Little did they know.
