Does what it says but it could be a lot more useful. 1. It should close the normal tab that it is opening from. 2. If there is a incognito window open, it should add to it rather than opening a new window. 3. It should remove the site from recent history. Currently, it does the easiest step in moving a tab from a normal window to incognito.
