What's the purpose of incognito mode then? It doesn't protect you from your ISP, websites, or users on the same computer. I'm not sure what other use case there is.

It could trivially also clear the framebuffer history. However they marked it as wontfix.

I'm not so sure this shouldn't happen according to the wddm spec.
