To me, incognito means, "I'm out in the world, and possibly identifiable, but I am not broadcasting as much information about myself as I typically would." For example, I'm not sending my typical logged in cookies. That's exactly what I expect incognito mode to do and, I believe, exactly what it does. If I'm out in the world incognito, that doesn't mean I can't possibly be identified. A close look at my face might still let someone figure out who I am, despite my Dick Tracy hat. It just means I'm putting in some effort not to allow my identity to be known. This seems like a great metaphor for what incognito mode does.
