Which is a significant flaw in the way incognito windows work with Chrome. If you have a minimized or hidden incognito window, opening a new one beats the purpose of incognito windows…

At the least, you could imagine having a shared session for all the tabs in a same window. But a new incognito window should be clear of any history.

In Chrome. Not in Safari.
Waoh. Never knew this. I would happily switch to safari, if only it has those amazing extensions that I have in my chrome.
What about separate Chrome profiles?
Not quite the same in that saved history, password, etc are in separate profiles. Also, you can have tabs from different containers in a same window.
