Issue 621: No possibility to define URL as "incognito"-url
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=621

Comment #18 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Part of the problem here is that incognito mode is one mode, but used for  
different
purposes. Any changes to it need to be compatible with all use patterns,  
else for
some people, it's not going to be incognito enough.
As far as I can tell, the main patterns are:
1. Wants to visit a specific list of pages without cache/cookies/etc being  
stored -
usually banking or similar sites
2. Wants to visit potentially unknown sites without other users of the  
computer being
able to see them - things like shopping for presents, visiting counselling  
support
sites, etc. Could also be porn etc.
3. Wants to browse all the time without cache/cookies being stored -  
probably using
an SSD, or on an untrusted machine

In terms of requirements:
1. Doesn't care if they are bookmarked - the site addresses aren't secret,  
and
bookmarks which can trigger incognito mode are good, as is automatic  
triggering of
incognito mode for specific sites
2. Not going to use bookmarks, but not automatically triggering incognito is
important. Other users should be able to visit sites without noticing  
they've been
visited before
3. Not really an incognito browser, but more an option to turn off  
cache/cookies
without a specific checkbox to tick

Possibly splitting the modes into "secure" - doesn't store details from  
specified
sites on HDD - and "secret" - you can browse and no record is kept on the  
local
machine of any form, including the sites visited - would be an option,  
along with a
"cacheless" or "lite" option which just doesn't store cookies/cache at all,
irrespective of the sites visited. This does seem to complicate the UI a  
lot though.
