I imagine you could just do the same searches in an Incognito browser window and get results not tailored to you, nor your location, IP, etc. (Or, I would be rather surprised if google searches were STILL tailored to some determinable attribute of you in an incognito browser window.)

I also imagine Seth did this (but only because I would be very surprised if he did not).

Incognito mode doesn't do anything to hide your location or IP (basically the same thing on non-mobile). It's really just meant as a porn mode: nothing you do is saved to disk.

Good for temporary logins to services when using someone else's machine as well.

As long as your threat model is "I'm worried I'll forget to log out, but I'm not worried I'll forget to close all the incognito windows".

If you're worried about the foreign machine compromising your accounts, incognito mode will do nothing to help you.

I'm pretty sure that incognito mode still gets you ip-based and location-based personalization -- try experimenting at your workplace with searches that you think your co-workers might use.
