So can I now watch Netflix on incognito?

But... Why? To use netflix, you have to log in anyways; they track you regardless of incognito..?

Sure, but I may not want others (e.g. other analytics) to know that I am watching Netflix. Let it be in its own container.

Somewhat useful for shared machines

Me want this in Firefox Focus (my default mobile browser these days).

Maybe I'll check the road map / feature requests and see if there's any movement in this direction.

I wonder whether there's any real, tangible benefit of using incognito mode. Does it do anything more than clean your cookies after each session?

arafalov2• 7 years ago

I use it all the time. The easiest example is when I am developing something and am logged in as Admin into web interface and then want to check how it works as a non-logged-in user. Or as multiple sequential logins. Sometimes it is faster to close and reopen incognito than logout/re-login.

Or check the newspaper article I don't want linked into whatever is normally tracking me.

Ironically I use it as a Chromium/Chrome developer to check whether certain documents are visible to users outside of Google, as a way to determine what information is internal-only.

I would be able to stream DRM content (e.g Netflix)?
