Playwright newContext() in incognito mode

Hey,

I'm facing this issue:
Error: Function newContext()newContext() is not available in incognito mode
at PlaywrightBrowser.newContext (xxxxx\node_modules@crawlee\browser-pool\playwright\playwright-browser.js:69:15)

Here's the code that triggers it:

const browser = await launchPlaywright();

try {
    const context = await browser.newContext({
    ...

const browser = await launchPlaywright();

try {
    const context = await browser.newContext({
    ...

As per Playwright docs:

Playwright allows creating "incognito" browser contexts with browser.newContext() method. "Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.

Playwright allows creating "incognito" browser contexts with browser.newContext() method. "Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.

Why would it be not allowed in Crawlee if Playwright supports it?
