However, for the speed increase and the potential of user-developed extensions... I don't mind. Plus, there is the option to surf anonymously.

It has absolutely nothing to do with anonymity on the web. damn! I missed that. Here's the quote you are referring too for others to see: Quote: Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you've visited. The websites you visit may still have records of your visit. Any files saved to your computer will still remain on your computer. Example: If you sign into your Google Account on http://www.google.com while in incognito mode, your subsequent web searches are recorded in your Google Web History. In this case, if you want to make sure your searches are not stored in your Google Account, you'll need to pause your Google Web History tracking.

I just uninstalled it to see if I could. Couldn't find a "Unitstall" spot in Chrome so I just went through the Control Panel.
