(Since we had yesterday off for Labor Day, two posts today!)
One new concept in Chrome is the idea of an incognito session, where the history and cookies are not preserved. This could be useful if, for example, you’re at a friend’s house or an Internet café, or if you don’t want your spouse to see that you’ve been shopping for a surprise birthday present. Or other things.
To start a new incognito session in Chrome, just press Ctrl+Shift+N. A new window appears, with slightly different coloring and a “secretive browser person” icon at the top.
(To close the incognito session, just press Alt+F4 as you normally would to close a program. All tabs in your new window close at once.)
Q: It would be great to have a way to start chrome in incognito mode, perhaps with a desktop icon. Anyone know of a way? Perhaps there’s a command line flag?
Agreed — unfortunately, this looks like the complete list of command line options (http://www.ericdlarson.com/misc/chrome_command_line_flags.html) and there’s nothing to start it in incognito mode. Hopefully next build!
i agree, it’s very irritating to have to open chrome first then click to change to incognito mode
Are you guys kidding me? It takes about two seconds and is no hassle at all.
Ctrl Shift N is a keyboard shortcut for making a new folder on any place in Windows: either i a partition root, in on a folder as a sub folder or on the PC’s desktop as well.
Jesus, you can’t wait 2 seconds for your porn?
I KNOW RIGHT. I always use it.
HI… yeah, so is there any way to have a shortcut key for Google Chrome Incognito mode, with the home page set to http://www.[foobar].com?
Why not´t just do a pogram shorcut for it ?
I don´t know it my don´t work thaat way ?
may * that *
“or other things…”
If you know what I mean.
“shopping gift for wife” LOL! This is obviously a fap feature.
It looks like you can create a program shortcut to chrome, and then edit the shortcut to use the -incognito flag, plus a space and then the name of the web site you want to visit. I’ll write up a blog post showing the steps when I get a chance.
“One new concept in Chrome is the idea of an incognito session, where the history and cookies are not preserved.” New concept??!! It was implemented in Firefox years ago…. -.-
nodar86, as far as I can tell, Firefox only added support for private browsing in version 3.1, which was released in late 2008. The blog post you’re responding to was also posted in 2008. Chrome had it first.
actually there is a command line for starting chrome in incognito. Go to the properties and select the shortcut tab. after the ending double quotes type ” -incognito” without the quotes and with the spaces. Sometimes you may need to put — instead of -. Then launch it and it will launch chrome as incognito.
lol private mode
