Correct, this is working as intended. The idea is that the incognito profile is built atop of the regular one. In incognito, you can take advantage of most of the context from the regular profile, but not vice versa - the state from incognito must not be persisted. You can take password manager as another example - in incognito, we will not offer you to save passwords, but you can always log using a password that you saved in the regular mode. If you really need a fresh slate that does not carry over any context from your regular profile, consider using the guest mode (account selector in the top right corner > Switch person > Browse as guest). |
