you cannot store the history in memory and survive a reboot, unless you write the memory to disk, then read into memory from disk on boot, but even then the history is being stored on disk and so is recoverable. surviving a reboot is necessary since the point of storing history is to make it accessible later, otherwise you would use incog/private mode, or stronger. I don't know what it is you think I don't think is possible

>surviving a reboot is necessary since the point of storing history is to make it accessible later, otherwise you would use incog/private mode, or stronger.

What actual evidence do you have that incognito mode is wiping the history at session end?

I did not say that, I said it doesn't store history

It stores history though, go log into any site in incognito mode. It has the same problem your original post highlights, and is an example of a situation where your history not surviving a reboot would not be an issue.

of course it doesn't actively store history. it doesn't wipe the storage medium so may leave a trace, but that's different. if a browser says it is wiping then there should be proof of this, instead of the "just trust us" stance which the article rightly highlights as dangerous
