You put a lot of faith in incognito mode working as you expect it to on the &amp;#x27;edge&amp;#x27; cases (e.g. third party plugins, cache, cookies) but this seems like it does not work even for a pretty straightforward case.&lt;p&gt;[I use edge there pretty liberally, even those cases are pretty far away from the edge]</text></comment>
