Firefox has a 'Privacy Browsing' option which is probably the same exact thing as what you are talking about in Chrome:
Here's a comparison (I didn't read it yet, but it's there for your viewing pleasure):

FireFox can also be configured to delete all history when it is closed.
But alas, as some have mentioned, there must be cookies while you browse, otherwise you would be logged off everytime you navigated somewhere else. I havent studied cookies much at all, so thats about all I really know

I have used Chrome for about a year now. I love it. It's beautiful and fast.
Due to several security issues lately, only one of which is related to neo, I've made the switch back to Firefox. Luckily I found an addon that changes the entire theme to make the browser look like Chrome.
Anyways I'm only letting you know so that you're extra careful. Firefox is definitely slower and feels bulkier, but I find it to be safer.

Depends on the shopping cart software.
If it stores the shopping cart in a cookie on your site, then yes, it'll disappear.
If the shopping cart is stored with your account on the server, it'll stay.
I think most are the former though.
Sadly, incognito does nothing to prevent CGs if you're logged into neo in that session of the browser. I was using chrome when I was CG'd, and there are no real security addons for chrome, nor will their likely be any serious ones, due to Google's method of releasing only sections of code for add-on development.
So sadly, Firefox is the only secure option, and will likely remain so, at least for a good long time. It's a shame because I really miss certain aspects of chrome, and Firefox feels so clumsy in some regards, but the neo security issue made me realize how vulnerable my other browsing was as well.
