Hopefully this means that Google is taking steps to better protect the privacy of users. I'm curious if there are other ways that a site can identify if you are in private mode.

You can see the script they currently use to detect incognito in different browsers + rules they use to allow browsers even if they haven't logged in (e.g. social browsers and their apps)

I'd like to see font scrambling and window dimension spoofing to mitigate fingerprinting.
