How many people really use incognito mode? How many people (outside the unrepresentative minority that frequent Hacker News) even know about the feature?
I don't have the data to back it up, but my guess would be that incognito mode doesn't really throw off the numbers in practice.
I use incognito mode ... the last thing I want is redtube being a permanent fixture in auto-complete, most visited, or anywhere else Google decides to leverage that information locally or otherwise, especially with all the stuff Chrome syncs across computers/devices these days.
As a feature it's received tremendous publicity so I don't think it's safe to assume nobody uses or knows about it:
why stop at incognito mode? You could run an entire vm in a jail'd process. Or make a hidden user account with its own home directory (if you use a unix), etc, etc.
