Description

Effortlessly configure Regular Expressions (Regex) to ensure specific websites to always open in Incognito mode. With this extension, you can define custom patterns to match URLs to open in incongnito mode. For instance, to always open banking-related websites in Incognito mode, you can use a regex like: ".*(bank|banking).*." (without the quotes) You can play arround with regex on: https://regexr.com/8ab88 How to: Thanks @Taz Edwards: 1. Leave your existing bookmark(s) as-is in your normal, non-incognito window 2. Pin this extention to your browser window 3. Click the extention silhouette and click options 4. Add the domain in 'pattern' with the syntax changes as described and click the + sign 5. Click your normal bookmark but not from a tab you want to keep since this extention will remove that tab and create a new incog window Recent Changes: 24.12.2024 - Added Quick Regex validation in options page: - Updated to Manifest V3 - added examples - settings may be synced now on your account - improved stability via retry

After placing websites in the box to remind this extension to always open my websites in incognito it works but, stops working if you have to reboot. A wasteful item.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT USE Even though it does open a site in incognito mode - the site still sets permanent cookies in Chrome. I have tested with several websites. DO NOT USE - the only way to be incognito is to open sites in incognito mode - DO NOT USE

Doesn't work, not even with the example regex: *gawker\.com

It's just opening every link I click into an Incognito window regardless of the sites I put on the list. Still a bit buggy.

This doesn't seem to work anymore. Using Chrome Version 51.0.2704.54 beta-m (64-bit) It opens EVERY site in incognito mode, even if there are no patterns active.
