    Bless - it's quite clearly designed so that dirty little boys can look at porn undetected.
    I'm a dirty little girl, so it doesn't bother me.:)

    Not really, it can also be useful for citizens of oppressed countries who can surf politically sensitive sites without being charged for it.

    It doesn't have proxy features - stealth mode only ensures your cookies are deleted when you close your browser and the information is not saved in browser history ... you could still be tracked from your official proxy .. so dont' even think that Chrome would save you from everything ..

    Infact - you can login to 2 gmail accounts using incognito mode from the same machine :) since the browser runs in incognito mode, this wasn't possible with existing browsers, ie you can't check 2 gmail accounts using IE or FF!!!

    :O If it's so incognito, surely some people may try to use it to scam their adsense accounts :O or have google taken that into account?

    Me, i'm sticking with internet explorer for now ^^

    Negative - since keystrokes on keyboard have got nothing do to with browser, and your keystrokes could be captured. Don't rely on Incognito mode and do take precautions when you use internet from public computers. Your privacy is NOT SAFE if you depend entirely on the browser.

    I just posted an article on my Google Chrome site about a study I did with a forensics expert. As you all may know, when Windows deletes a file from the hard drive it really isn't deleted. It's just hidden and the space is marked as writable. We went total CSI and tried recovering data from this mode. Our baffled expert came to the conclusion that the Incognito Window may be in total Random Access Memory and non-recoverable once the window is shut down. :eek:

    Too bad there is no setting to automatically open in incognito mode when starting Chrome. That would be the best feature yet.
