wow,that is downright scary! That is why I use incognito mode.

  Unless incognito mode is something much different from what I think (temporary browser session with none of the existing cookies etc) that does not prevent this kind of issue. Pages you would visit in that session/mode would still get tracked.

    Incognito mode blocks all extensions by default, so you'd be safe from those extensions that track your data by using tab events.

    Users have to whitelist extensions for Incognito mode. Which would theoretically solve this issue, but at that point, I doubt the user would install the extension at all.

    The etc includes extensions, that as callahad said, haven't been approved by the user for Incognito. For active extensions, when you go to the Extensions page and click the triangle next to an extension to expand it, it shows a checkbox for "Allow incognito" that is unchecked by default.
