    "And yes, practically everyone else calls it "Porn Mode.""

    Oh, come on. To cavalierly suggest that the need for privacy is an excuse for porn viewing is simply offensive. For one thing, where's your evidence that it is? For another, privacy is fundamental--and it should be served by browser developers seriously. Now that begs a question: What need is privacy in browser design? Well, one visit to an Internet cafe should answer that.

    Now that IE8 has InPrivate and Chrome has Incognito, I hope Opera comes up with one too, and soon. And, oh, it should call it Phantom of the Opera.

    The information that data minning companys already have on the average american is astounding. That anyone can gather such information under the guise of "marketing research" proves PT Barnum's maxim that a sucker is born every minute. We as americans say we want privacy and believe we have it, but such is not the case. Don't believe it? Just goggle your own name and see just what others can find out about you. And that's just the private sector. The government has a far more nebulous system for gathering information. The point that I'm trying to make is that privacy is just that-private. And the only way that someone else should have access to our personal information is by getting permission from the individual who is the subject of the query first.
