Chrome Web Store in Guest mode warns that some functionality is not available in Incognito mode

Reported by 93m4qau...@gmail.com, Jan 3 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch Chrome in Guest mode.
2. Open the Chrome Web Store at the URL linked above.

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome Web Store displays "Some functionality of the Chrome Web Store is not available in Guest mode." In fact, it would be even better if it explicitly stated that extensions can't be installed and that all you can do is browse.

What went wrong?
Chrome Web Store displays "Some of the functionality of the Chrome Web Store is not available in the Incognito mode." in Guest mode even though Incognito mode and Guest mode are not the same. This could cause confusion for some users that have less technical knowledge/experience and don't realize that it's just Chrome.

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 63.0.3239.108 and on the latest canary 65.0.3310.0 using windows 10, Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.13.1. As the issue is seen from M50(50.0.2661.0) considering it as non-regression and marking it as Untriaged.

Thanks!

Still seeing the same issue on all OS using chrome latest Canary-72.0.3618.0. As it is non reg issue, adding respective labels.
