Incognito mode of Chrome

I love the incognito mode key combination of google chrome browser, "Ctrl-Shift-N".
It instantly forks a fresh browser process that does not share any cookies with my other browser windows. I use it whenever I see a suspicious link that someone sent or is 'tinyurl'ed. These can be dangerous because they can sometimes use the already logged in brower/tab's cookies to do stuff. For example, the viral twitter applications use this to send messages to people you follow, without you noticing (you just click a wrong button). I can't wait to see how Chrome will be advancing with plugins.
