For me, a.big surprise about Incognito mode after using it was finding, by chance, that opening new Incognito windows did not create separate, new private browsing sessions.
I was very surprised to open an Incognito window and visit a site to find it knew who I was and I was logged in there already.
My mental model didn't match what I'd assumed Incognito mode to mean. Unfortunately this meant a few years of using Incognito to avoid basic tracking had not actually avoided tracking.
After this discovery I switched to Firefox Temporary Containers, which do what I expected and wanted from Incognito mode all along.
