So, I assume this lawsuit happened because people still don't have a clue as to what incognito mode actually is?
Don't get me wrong here, it's a misleading name that should be accompanied by some explanation for the user, so... Does Chrome not inform you about what incognito mode does?
It probably does, but users would have to click through to an information page. Mostly people seemed to be using it based on misinformed recommendations from others.
Also got the impression that most believed the sites they were using via Incognito mode could not recognise them unless they logged in. Similar features on other browsers had similarly misleading names.
"session mode" might be a less misleading term, but it isn't nearly so snappy.
