ICS Stock Browser

[pauldroidr2d2]

So, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before. If it has my apologies.

A feature that I have discovered while using the stock browser is that when I bookmark a page on my Nexus, it syncs with my Chrome browser automatically on my home computer.

Anyone else noticed that Incognito mode is only accessible by opening up a new Tab; I remember the ICS demo in HK, and function was accessible under the browser settings...

I'm not familiar with the icognito mode. How does it work?

I never really noticed this feature until this morning. I like it.

It's like the private browsing mode on Firefox. When in incognito mode, the browser doesn't keep a history of the pages you visit. I believe it also deletes the cookies from the session when you exit.

I tried to put a shortcut to Incognito Mode on hompage. It wouldn't let me. Any other options?

They should just call Porn Mode. Then everyone would understand it.

is there a way for the Stock browser Widget to show - customize book marked pages other than the ones that came with the phone?

Is there really a need? Do u share your phone with coworkers or better half? I see no need for unless your running from the feds but they can still see what your doing.

'incognito browsing'
I thought I'd tell you something interesting.
I'm using that mode on my Samsung 3 from time to time.
Today I handed my phone to someone to look at a baby photo and they accidentally held down the menu button on the bottom left (next to the 'home' key) - up pops a generic search screen with ALL my incognito previous searches in plain view.
I was able to go in later and manually delete them.
I tested both incognito and regular search to see what happened.
ONLY incognito searches showed on this generic search page!
So incognito is not as incognito as they say!
Please feel free to check this for yourself and pass on to others.
