Tip: A Different Use for Private Browsing

It may be called "Private Browsing" or "Incognito" or, more colloquially, porn mode. But, there is a perfectly useful reason to use it: multiple accounts with the same service.

For instance, you can start a new Incognito session with Chrome, login to a different GMail accounts, and then close the session without ever worrying about your primary tabs getting confused with Reader, Calendar, GMail, etc.

This works because the cookies and session information isn't kept. On Chrome, though, it is shared with all incognito tabs that are running at once until they are closed. This means you can only do one additional session at a time (in addition to your primary one). But, it's often faster than opening a new browser.
