I clicked on the tab to go into incognito mode. I would now like to opt out, not disable incognito. Is this done by closing the browser and opening it again?
Thank you

Hi

You really only need to close the Window that you have opened in incognito mode.
You can tell by the icon of the guy in the hat and sunglasses in the upper left.

Incognito mode is really more of an incognito Window then a mode, if you switch to another open window it won't be in that mode.

I saw the change with explorer's in private and will look for the the guy in the hat and sunglasses in the upper left with Chrome.
I am glad it is that easy and thank you both.
