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 Mode is on Firefox.

Safari and Brave also both call it a private window

Internet Explorer also called it "InPrivate".

And Edge still does.
