    Am I the only one who only used incognito by accident when intending to select “open in new tab” from the context menu?

      That’s literally the only time I’ve ever used it. Knowing what it is, I don’t even need it. I have the settings set to erase all my history and most other stuff upon closing the browser. Which is exactly what incognito mode does, but temporarily for a single tab session.

      I use it to access the same site with different logins at the same time, or to let someone else log in to a service temporarily using my device

        If this is something you do often, you might consider Firefox with the multi-account containers extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

        It allows unique/isolated profiles on a per-tab basis.

        I’ve found it great for work, for the many things that require me to be logged into both the [email protected] and [email protected] accounts simultanously, to manage MS 365 things. But restricting social media to an isolated profile, multiple Google/Microsoft/whatever accounts, these are all possible.

      It’s great for testing a site when you’re not sure whether the issue is because you’re logged in or there’s some cached data.
