How to Start Google Chrome in Incognito Mode by Default

[Shikhar]

I want to open my Google Chrome incognito window by default. Is it possible, if yes please let me know how to do that ?

Yes off course that is possible.The incognito mode gives us a way to stealthily and sneakily wade through the web. For those who have come in late. So. follow this to start Google Chrome in Incognito Mode by default:-

1. Place a Google Chrome shortcut on the desktop (or any other desired location).

2. Rename the shortcut to any convenient name like – Private Chrome.

3. Right click on the shortcut and select ‘Properties’.

4. On the ‘Target’ field add an –incognito to the end of program path. (Note: Make sure there is a space between the last apostrophe and the dash)

5. Your incognito browser is now ready for launch. If you select ‘New Window’ from settings, you will get a normal non-incognito chrome window.

Thats it !!!

The incognito mode has its uses in public browsing where we don’t want to leave behind a trace of our activities. Among its other off hand uses is that it allows us to open different account sessions for the same website. For instance I can open two different talk sessions of Gmail Chat, one through the normal browser window and the other through the incognito one. This possibility extends to other web services too where one has two different accounts.

To start Incognito Mode by Default, Edit the shortcut for Google Chrome and append -incognito to the command.
