There was a discussion on stackoverflow that talks about it http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1019573/save-icon-still-a...


I can see that even in chrome "incognito mode"


I would like to remind you that when you open incognito, it specifically says:

"Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: - Websites that collect or share information about you"

Incognito only prevents information from being stored on your computer, not anyone else's.


But more interesting is that the fingerprint in the normal window and the incognito window ends up being the same.

- Enter word in normal browser window - In an incognito window, go to the URL and retrieve your word.


Same here. That's really creepy. :/


I can confirm this as well.


Me 3.. It doesn't work if you copied the link from chrome to firefox or IE.
