&gt; Google marked the bug as won’t fix because google chrome incognito mode is apparently not designed to protect you against other users on the same computer.<p>That&#x27;s nonsense. For most users, that&#x27;s <i>exactly</i> what it&#x27;s used for.<p>I really think Google is dropping the ball here. I know it&#x27;s not their bug, and they shouldn&#x27;t <i>have</i> to work around it in an ideal world, but this is a pretty clear leak of data outside of private mode. It wouldn&#x27;t impact performance in any noticeable way (you&#x27;re closing the window anyway at this point), and would just be an extra safeguard.<p>Very short-sighted of them to ignore this bug. Perhaps we could ask distro maintainers to add patches for this to their builds of Chromium.
