Enabling support for Incognito Tab?

Reported by orsch...@gmail.com, Apr 17 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/49.0.2623.108 Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Dear all, 

I found this [1] page that mentions the following:

> 
Chromium's backend is capable of running incognito on a per-tab basis, yet we keep the mode at the window level to avoid the confusion of having a tabstrip of mixed-mode tabs.

[1] https://www.chromium.org/user-experience/incognito

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
My question to the community is whether you think it is worth opening the API so that extensions could make use of that feature and provide the user with an extension that would turn an existing tab into an incognito tab while remaining in the same window.

Thankfully,

~Robert

This isn't a security bug, but rather a feature request.  Removing view restrictions.

Thanks for the feature request -- I will de-dupe it against the already existing bug.

Regarding the Chrome Wiki page, the particular sentence you are quoting is from 2008. I'm not sure it's still valid.

Well, that's the only reliable source I could find on this topic.

Warmly,
