This defeats the purpose of Incognito. If any website is able to tell you're browsing in private mode, then the browser is leaking data that shows it's not private
This is definitely something browsers ought to fix, but it's tricky because of how you need to handle certain types of storage in private mode (localStorage, IndexedDB, etc.).
@nolan@cypnk also at some point you actually have to implement statistical normalization. No plugins installed at all? probably in private browsing. etc, etc.
