| Permanent Incognito Mode? (Make incognito default for browsing) | berryday | 4/15/09 5:32 PM | Is there any way to make the Incognito Mode a default or permanent setting, so that every window and tab I open starts in that mode, and I have to request to make it noncognito? Essentially invert the way it is now and that is what I want. |

In the properties dialog click on the "Shortcut" tab, then in the "Target:" field add " --incognito" to th |
| Re: Permanent Incognito Mode? (Make incognito default for browsing) | berryday | 4/15/09 5:50 PM | Perfect, and hopefully a developer will see this and implement our request! |
| Re: Permanent Incognito Mode? (Make incognito default for browsing) | HeyPal | 4/15/09 6:48 PM | Good solution Kevin, but you must beware that ONLY chrome sessions initiated from your desktop shortcut will start in incognito mode. Anything opened from a shortcut, or a link in a (non-web based) email or document will NOT start in incognito mode. |

| Re: Permanent Incognito Mode? (Make incognito default for browsing) | Unblocking | 9/1/10 4:31 PM | HeyPal is right. If you change the properties from the desktop shortcut (by adding --incognito to the target line), it will work. You can then drag the shortcut to the task bar, and it will also work there. Using INCOGNITO will probably give you peac |
| Re: Permanent Incognito Mode? (Make incognito default for browsing) | x3dfxjunkie | 2/12/11 8:05 AM | You have to allow extensions to operate in incognito mode on an individual basis. You should find the checkboxes for that in the extension manager window (chrome://extensions/). |
