This is correct, but you need to close ALL incognito tabs for storage to get wiped, not just the tab you loaded the site in.

I mean, I considered this implied within the suggestion of using incognito mode.

In any event, it's an unrealistic attack vector. No bad actor is going to target 0.1% of edge cases when you could get enough damaging information from people who do not go through this process and remain connected to the internet.

Just making it clear for anyone that doesn't know. It's caught me off guard before.
That depends on the browser, I believe.
