Does "Privacy Mode" actually make us feel more guilty?

I had a bit of a breakthrough last night. I was about to open an incognito window just to browse some porn before bed, and I just stopped. I asked myself: Who am I even hiding this from? I’m an adult, I pay my own rent, and it’s a perfectly normal way to relax. I realized that the act of "hiding" it was actually the only thing making me feel weird about it. I decided to just use a regular tab for once. It felt surprisingly liberating to see it in my history next to my gym schedule and work emails. Has anyone else intentionally ditched the "secret agent" routine to save their mental energy?
