Description Dan Jacobson 2017-11-10 16:46:47 UTC 
/usr/share/man/man1/epiphany.1.gz has

       --private-instance
              Start a private instance

       --incognito-mode
              Start an instance in incognito mode

but this is confusing to many people.

Therefore the man page should mention their differences.

Note many users will be consulting the man page for "private browsing" and hone in on word "private".
