I'm curious, why would you not open random links into a separate incognito tab? Doesn't everybody do this today?

  Are you seriously asking if anybody today opens links by simply tapping on them? Is this some sort of weird fake-question nerd-brag?
  • dorfsmay 7y ago
    Yes I was asking that. No bragging, fake question.

      Then my answer is "no. I don't." And nobody else does either. You are probably the only person in the whole world who does this, or close enough to be a rounding error. :)

        Do you open links in the same tab you're already in? Then, say you're on HN, do you use the back button to go back to HN? I might be in the minority to use incognito tabs for "random sites", but I've seen a lot of people opening links into different tabs.

          When I'm on my computer, I open almost all links in separate tabs. When I'm on my phone, generally I click the link and click the back button.

            Think about it, you're only one step away from using incognito tabs, which avoid polluting your main browser with cookies. To me that's even more important on mobile where we tend to clean our browsers less often.
