Not completely. Incognito mode is still useful so that when your boss sits next to you, and you start typing words in the browser/search bar, it doesn't offer "interesting" autocompletion based on browsing history.
- interpol_p 13y agoI think that's exactly the parent's point. Incognito mode is useful despite being essentially "security theatre". The same way that requiring a master password to view stored passwords is useful.
- makomk 13y agoIncognito mode is useful because it's easy to use. Master passwords are not, as demonstrated by the fact that 99%+ of Firefox users don't.
- interpol_p 13y agoYes, I agree that master passwords are badly implemented in Firefox. It should be on by default — like Safari where it uses your keychain password when attempting to display a plain text stored password. Chrome and Firefox could easily do this too (they do use the Keychain to fetch passwords anyway.)
