Yeah…I feel like the only reason to use incognito has always been “I don’t want my porn to show up in my search history and this is easier than manual deletion.” It’d be nice if it meant privacy, but the world doesn’t run on nice. :(
Also, TCP/IP requires that the server receive your IP address (or that of a proxy, VPN endpoint, etc.) so that it can send the response back. Opening a new browser window doesn’t change that.
It’s really good for present shopping if you use a shared device.
The computer has the ability to make accounts, so people have their own personal spaces.

I’ve never seen someone use this in the home (i.e., non-business/school) environment.
Browsers have their own user profiles now, but that’s a much newer feature than Incognito mode.
