Some require cookies to be enabled (Facebook I know does), so they networks won't let you log in in a private mode.
- untog 14y agoChrome Incognito mode (at least) allows cookies, though- it just isolates them to the incognito window and destroys them on close. I just logged into FB and it worked fine.
- awj 14y agoI'll second this. I find Incognito windows really useful when I want to hop on my wife's laptop and check FB/email/the handful of other things we both have accounts on.
- WickyNilliams 14y agoCorrect, cookies are stored for the duration of an incognito session. I find it a little annoying though that cookies are not sandboxed by tab, rather than by window/session. If I log into FB in incognito, and then do a little more private browsing in a new tab the FB cookies are still accessible in the other tab. I guess I could be more vigilant with my browsing habits but I think this is a fair feature to implement at browser rather than forcing user to jump through more hoops to protect privacy. On a side note, when will chrome finally offer API hooks to allow NoScript to be developed for it?!
