Do You Use Google Chrome Porn Mode?
I’m one of those people who switched to Google Chrome on the first day it came out. I still have to use Firefox about once a week to finish some Republic of Code work using a special extension that is only available for Firefox, but I’m practically using Chrome all day long.
Chrome comes with a feature called Incongnito which lets you browse the Internet without storing any information about what you do online on your machine. Many people dubbed this feature “Porn Mode” as that seemed to be its most obvious use!
But I’ve found it very helpful (for stuff other than porn) because runs in sort of a sandbox that is unconnected to your other information and cookies. This means that you can log-into two Gmail or Facebook accounts at the same time by opening an Incognito window and using it for your second account.
I have multiple Gmail accounts which I use for different things, for example, my feeds are managed through Google feedburner through my first Google account, but I use Google Analytics through another account. It’s confusing how I ended up there, but using Incognito I can stay logged in both accounts without having to log-out from one to check the other.
This is also helpful when you’re using your computer and then someone comes in saying that they want to check their email, you do not have to log-out of your account, just open an Incognito window and let them check it from there!
