New issue 15632 by uranium: Incognito window sharing cookies
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15632
Chrome Version : 2.0.172.8
URLs (if applicable) : groups.google.com
Other browsers tested: N/A
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4:
Firefox 3.x:
IE 7:
IE 8:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start up an incognito window.
2. Log into groups.google.com in that window.
3. Go to a non-incognito window.
4. Use ctrl+shift+n to create a new incognito window.
5. Go to groups.google.com in the new window.
6. See that you're already logged in to groups.
What is the expected result?
Groups shouldn't be able to see your cookies from the other incognito
window.
What happens instead?
All incognito windows appear to be sharing the same set of cookies; it's
like there are two profiles, incognito and regular, instead of having each
incognito window be an island unto itself, which was what I expected.
I've tried starting another regular chrome instance via a shortcut, then
creating another incognito window from it, with the same results. I have
not yet tried restarting chrome entirely.
Ah--once I close all incognito windows, opening a new one doesn't repro
this behavior. It really is like there are two profiles, whereas I expect
N+1. Is this the intended behavior? It seems wrong to me; I often need
more than two separate profiles [for managing multiple Google accounts,
etc.]. I can use multiple browsers [or any number of Firefox profiles],
but I think Chrome should support this use case.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
