The two sessions could not be linked, but after I close incognito, the counter and the stored text in normal Chrome are reset. Why does that happen?

- lucb1e 13y agoThis is because I use a static etag instead of generating a new one for each session. From the page: > When you visit a page where you don't have an ETag (like incognito mode), your session will be emptied. This unfortunately also throws away your other browser session at the same time. In practice a website would probably issue a new etag for the incognito session, and your existing browser session will simply continue.
- sker 13y agoI see, the normal Chrome session is not reset, but rather linked to the new ETag in incognito mode, at least in this example. You could probably have submitted a bug to the Chrome team and get a bounty for this thing. It kind of allows to track the incognito session linking it to a normal session.
