I've got a chronic problem with leaving too many tabs open, so I'm routinely using Incognito windows so that they will clean themselves up every time I have to restart my browser.

You can set any browser to not reopen tabs when you start your browser, just so you know. No need to use incognito for that purpose.

Yes I know, but I have a subset of tabs that I do want to reopen every time, e.g. Gmail, Reddit, Facebook, GitHub, etc. So I use a normal window for that, and then use an Incognito window (or 3, when the tabs start getting too crowded!) for the "transient" tabs.
