Everytime this is reposted in a new template I remind everyone that no one is using incognito mode to hide from their ISP they are using it to hide from their spouse or partner.

Beyond that it's legitimately useful for logging into a second account on a site or for various testing purposes as a web developer. Though if you're consistently using it for the former, containers are a better solution.

Also useful for testing links that might only work if signed in.

For instance, if I share a link to a OneDrive file, will it force the receiver to sign up with Microsoft before they can view the file.
