Incognito, along with Firefox's Private Browsing Mode and Internet
Explorer's similar thing is all intended for people who want to watch
porn on their computer but not have to worry about their significant
other checking their browsing history and finding out they were
watching porn.
Sure, there are other uses, like surfing without annoying adds
tracking you across websites, but really, the browser history is the
main issue.

Don't forget it also makes it more difficult for the NSA to follow what
you're doing. Instead of checking your computer, they have to go to
your ISP and the websites you visit.
Was I supposed to say that? Please don't send me to Gitmo.
