A broader issue I've thought about before now is that we might need to redefine what "incognito" mode is, now. What we have is still relevant- the always-used "gift shopping" (and the more realistic "porn mode") reasons still apply. But I worry that "incognito" implies more than it offers- after all, no-one monitoring your internet connection is going to be meaningfully affected by it.

What I'd also love to see (but am a little uncertain on how to implement) is tab isolation for sessions- I don't want the Facebook like button on <x site> to read my Facebook login on my other tab. Right now I can use incognito windows and Chrome extensions to achieve that, but it's messy.




I use the Chrome Users feature to achieve this - one profile for home, one for work, and one for Facebook. Works a lot better then incognito mode!


I'd love to be able to have profiles/users set at the tab level.
