Chrome also has an option for Do Not Track. Are you saying it should be enabled by default in Incognito? That may seem like it would help but not really because now you've given trackers a pretty unique signal to further track you (as very few people set that header).

Chrome has an option to send DNT, but Google's sites do not honor DNT:

> Most websites and web services, including Google's, don't change their behavior when they receive a Do Not Track request. Chrome doesn't provide details of which websites and web services respect Do Not Track requests and how websites interpret them.
