It's not so much that they need to be off, but incognito mode is a way for you to search without having to worry about being "tracked". It allows you to search and view as you please without having to worry about someone or something being able view or "track" what you've done.



"Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close all open incognito windows."

-%26gt; This just states that you've gone "incognito".



"Because Google Chrome does not control how extensions handle your personal data, all extensions have been disabled for incognito windows. You can reenable them individually in the extensions manager."

-%26gt; This states that it turns off all extension use while incognito, BUT if you chose you can enable them individually. They warn you against it because there are custom extensions you can install that could allow malware onto your system. As long as you know what you're doing, don't worry about it!
