> it can not be detected, unlike Incognito mode

This may be true today, but that's because Chrome has a bug. (At least, I can't see why we wouldn't view it as a bug.)

Incognito Mode shouldn't be detectable. Hopefully they'll fix that.

It is true that Google will supposedly start making an effort to make Incognito mode non-detectable [0], but Incognito mode is still crippled compared to the way I use Chromium (through a simple shell script), mostly because of the option to use multiple "sessions" simultaneously and whitelisting of browser data that gets copied/used.
