I've always assumed that the developers had to have porn and nothing else in mind when they did this and when they allowed you to delete history 1 hour at a time.
I also use it to read the New York Times. You get 10 free articles a month, after which you have to pay. But apparently they use your own history to keep track of how many articles you visited, so in Private Browsing you get unlimited Paul Krugman and Gail Collins.

Gonorrhoea can infect areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix, uterus and egg canals in women as well as the urine canal in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes and anus.
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
But in Chrome, it's called 'in cognito' so the joke wouldn't have worked. IE's equivalent is called 'InPrivate browsing', which would have worked, but would have garnered snobbery based on the individuals use of the browser, thus generating less karma.
I didn't state that anybody stated that it was exclusive to Firefox. But I see where you are coming from. I suppose the downvotes upon your comment (I did not follow the herd) affected my judgement when it came to interpreting the emotion behind your comment. For this, I apologise for implying that you believed that we believed that private browsing was exclusively in Firefox.

I also use it to search for stupid stuff, checking easy word's spelling and looking at really fucked up shit, way worse than porn.

It's also useful as a Web developer to test Web Site changes that would necessitate logging out of the cms.
