Hi Srikanth,

Can you please verify?

Thanks,
If the users exiting the app by killing it then Incognito tabs won't restore.

This is the expected new behavior.

In contrast, if the app is terminated by the system, the incognito tabs are not cleared.

We should update the text on the new incognito tab to reflect this change. I will be starting a UI review thread to get this done. 
We've been responding to users in App store and via email. # of feedback is trending down since March 18 by >50%.

I would suggest we close this bug if we don't see new spike in the coming release. Thanks. 
Is the number of 1-star reviews because of this change consistent or also dropping?
The number of 1-star reviews because of this change is dropping from 19% to 1% as of total 1-star reviews in past 7 days comparing to past 30 days. Thanks.
