If that's all it is, then in my opinion the article is misleading. That's exactly how I always assumed incognito mode worked. And although I recognize it might not be how an average consumer understands it, it is what I think most people familiar with web tech would understand. The article makes it sound like they're doing more than that.

All that incognito mode does is delete those session cookies when you close that tab or window.[1] If you want to avoid being tracked, turn off cookies altogether (or use a plugin that blocks trackers), turn off JavaScript (or use a noscript plugin), and use a VPN.
