> Google marked the bug as won’t fix because google chrome incognito mode is apparently not designed to protect you against other users on the same computer.

That's nonsense. For most users, that's exactly what it's used for.

I really think Google is dropping the ball here. I know it's not their bug, and they shouldn't have to work around it in an ideal world, but this is a pretty clear leak of data outside of private mode. It wouldn't impact performance in any noticeable way (you're closing the window anyway at this point), and would just be an extra safeguard.

Very short-sighted of them to ignore this bug. Perhaps we could ask distro maintainers to add patches for this to their builds of Chromium.
