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.
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.
