Comment #1 on issue 14533 by [email protected]: In incognito modus chrome should be able to READ a cookie http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=14533
This would not be a good idea from a privacy standpoint. A simple example works best: Say you have your standard google cookie stating that you're signed in (non-incognito). You then go incognito, and google reads your cookie and assumes your still signed in (even though you're incognito). It then tracks your searches and whatever queries you submit, and adds them to your google history (assuming you have it enabled). Thus, your incognito searches aren't incognito anymore. Of course, this is just one example of how it would be undesirable. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
