I thought that incognito mode in Chrome[0] and private mode in Firefox[1] already disables extensions by default.

Absolutely, except for extensions you explicitly want to have in private mode, which is opt-in.


So? Extensions are opt-in in regular mode too.


I'm agreeing with my parent comment, to which I'm adding some precision.


private/incognito mode doesn't protect against XSS.
