Title: G Chrome Ext: Incognito Regex
Post by: rcjordan on September 15, 2016, 03:52:09 PM
I read in reddit, voat, and a few unmoderated sites.  You never know where the link trail might end up.  Tumblr, for instance, is a favorite --and not often for something you'd like to see in your history.

You could also use it to prevent defacto profiling of, say, your health-related research.

BTW, I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger enabled for incognito.

That's a very good idea.  In FF I have it destroy all history and cookies at closing; so it is basically like incognito every time I run it.

It's particularly pertinent if you have (increasingly browser-savvy) kids/grandkids visiting.  And you should have it installed as a lesser watchdog even for your casual browsing machine.

Case in point, here in NC we have the on-going HB2 transsexual bathroom law which I'm following.  Some of the best kick-the-politician's-ass reporting is done by the LGBT community.  The sidebars of those sites lead pretty quickly into stuff like the San Fran street festivals --complete with porn-ish photos.  After a while, your cookies end up looking like one of those trannies NFFC saw in Bangkok.
