Comment on Ask HN: Screw Facebook and Go Incognito on it

Comments

It should work since the cookies are destroyed upon closing that window and said cookies are removed, as well as not being available to other windows.

Brilliant! So there is basically no need to add plugins like this one (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3035153) - currently on the front page of HN - so long as you are ok with launching new incognito windows.

But then you have no history either. Also, you would be effectively logged out of every website.

True, unless you only go to Facebook on Ingonito. In which case all of the Facebook cookies would be deleted once you close the window.

Or you could have single use browsers. There are so many browsers out there that it doesn't seem like a problem to me.

That's what I used Opera for before I deleted my FB account. Safari is currently the browser I use only for my real Google account activity (Gmail, Calendar and G+ only).

I know there are solutions like http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ , but they have never worked quite as I wished.
