I was always curious why is it called Incognito or Private mode? Temporary or Guest session would make more sense: "You've entered a Temporary session. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved."
I don't believe it was ever called 'private mode', or am I wrong on this?
private browsing term appears in desktop and Android. Apple also uses the term.
