Title: Feature suggestion for 'Incognito Browsing'
Post by: MaidMandy on February 19, 2013, 12:20 pm
As a vendor, I use the 'Incognito Browsing' option most of the time. This is for discretion. It is a great feature of the website and it makes me feel safer if I am using SR in a pub or a cafe (don't worry, I take lots of precautions before doing this!!).

When using 'Incognito Browsing', all images are removed from the website. However, in the top right corner, it still says 'Hi, MaidMandy' or whatever the username is. I think it would be great if this was hidden as part of the 'Incognito Browsing' feature as it would add extra security.

Anyone else agree or have an opinion on it?

Why are you using SR in a public place? Even with images removed, anyone whose used SR will recognize the design. Hiding your username would be beneficial to ones anonymity, however so would not being reckless and exposing yourself as a user.

I don't feel that I am being reckless. I actually take my security very seriously. As I said in the original post, I take precautions. I won't go into them, but it is always safe when I use it (based on the way I sit and the position I put my laptop in) and there is no way others could see what I was looking at online. I just thought my suggestion was a good idea for added security.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers ;)

I agree that this should be an option to remove the name.  Another thing I noticed, incognito mode removes product images as well as the SR logo in the upper left hand corner.  When using certain browsers, the SR Logo also appears on the tab or in the title bar of the browser as a smaller version.  This should also be suppressed due to its recognition factor when incognito mode is activated.

I suggest that all drug pictures be replaced with cat pictures.

We already have that checkbox, "InCatNeato" mode.
