For users seeking enhanced privacy while browsing, the Auto Incognito browser extension is a valuable tool that automatically opens specified websites in incognito mode. This extension simplifies the process of maintaining privacy online by eliminating the need to manually switch to incognito mode for certain sites.
The Auto Incognito extension allows users to manage a blacklist of websites. When a site on this list is accessed, the extension automatically opens it in an incognito window and deletes the browsing history immediately if the 'private' option is enabled. If the option is disabled, the site opens in a normal window, and the history is deleted when the tab is closed.
To use Auto Incognito, users can install it from the Microsoft Edge Addons store. For Google Chrome users, the extension can be manually installed by downloading the files from GitHub and loading them as an unpacked extension in the Chrome browser. Once installed, users can manage their blacklist by clicking on the extension's button in the browser toolbar, adding or removing sites as needed.
This extension offers several benefits, including automated privacy protection, flexible settings for customizing which sites open in incognito mode, and compatibility with both Chrome and Edge browsers.
