Chromium Blog: incognito

Internet Archive
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web .
Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
A daily crawl of more than 200,000 home pages of news sites, including the pages linked from those home pages. Site list provided by

When we first released extension support in Chromium, we left out all support for running extensions in incognito mode. This meant I had to live without handy extensions like Mouse Stroke and PasswordMaker (shameless plug) whenever I opened an incognito window, and that made me sad. When your muscle memory is trained to expect certain features, it's pretty jarring to find them missing. So in the latest stable version of Google Chrome, I added support for running extensions while in incognito.Note to extension developers: Try to be a good citizen by only persisting browsing information collected from non-incognito windows. You can determine this by examining the incognito property on tab and window objects, or checking chrome.extension.inIncognitoTab from within a content script.
