While Private (or Incognito) browsing doesn’t do much to protect your identity from the server, it’s still a very useful tool for browsing the web – from the user’s point of view. When you switch to private mode, you can be sure that browsing history will not be recorded and extensions will not be enabled. It’s also a great way to log into another account in the same website without logging out. And of course, it comes in handy when you hand over your PC to someone.
Today, we’re upgrading things by giving you several ways to open the website you’re browsing, in a private tab.
Incognito mode, engaged
Both Chrome and Firefox have a private browsing mode. Chrome calls it Incognito and Firefox calls it Private Mode. But they operate in a separate window, and switching tabs back and forth isn’t easy.
To open an Incognito window in Chrome, click Hamburger menu button and select New incognito window (shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + N).
In Firefox, click Hamburger menu button and select New private window (shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + P).
All great keyboard shortcuts: See our guide for the best keyboard shortcuts for popular services.
Both Chrome and Firefox will also allow you to open links directly in a new Incognito window using the right-click menu.
Usually, you need to do a copy-paste operation every time. Highlight the URL, copy it, launch private mode and then paste in the link. That is so tedious. There must be a better way.
Sometimes you need to quickly open the current tab in private mode. This is when the action of opening the page has been taken, but the damage control never did any harm. In these situations, the extensions below will come in handy.
Chrome browser
This anonymous! is the most flexible option available. If you thought it was not possible to add 12 different settings to switch tabs to Incognito mode, you are wrong.
What about on Android?: Learn how to open direct links in private browsing mode on Chrome or Firefox on Android.
But you can avoid all of that if you want. By default, clicking the extension icon launches the current tab in Incognito mode while closing it in the current window. Another way is to go to the URL bar and type in Incognito and press Navigation key.
If you want to customize how the extension works, right-click the extension icon and click Option.
Here you’ll find options for things like switching the entire window to Incognito mode, enabling keyboard shortcuts, removing the original page from history, and deleting cookies.
firefox
Firefox already has the option to open any link in one Private window with the right-click menu. But what about the page you’re on?
The Open in Private Browsing Mode add-on is possible. Once the add-on is installed, right click on the opening of the page and click on the . icon Open this page in Private Browsing Mode select.
