Reviews of incognito this tab:
Such a great and old ext, thanks a lot.
Two things that this extension does that are annoying: 1. It opens up a new full-screen browser window instead of a window the same size as the current one, and 2. it opens up a new incognito window every time, instead of using an existing one.
great.
just opens the current tab link into an Incognito tab
Simple n clean.. ?
It opens in new window. basically it works like a button, if pressed, it opens in new window (not in same tab)
Very useful and non-intrusive
It will better if it have an option allow to close or keep the tab which want to open in incognito mode.
Simple and useful. But it always opens the incognito window maximized; I wish there were a setting to match the existing window size.
Moves links to incognito/sandbox mode without requiring unnecessary permissions in chrome. (E.g. some competitors ask to read/modify data within websites, which seems a bit fishy.) Perfect!
As a web developer and when sharing Google Apps documents, this is an essential extension. Personally, the reason I've chosen this extension is because it does NOT lose the original window when displaying it in the Incognito window.
Incognito This Tab does exactly what it says it will; it makes the current tab into an incognito tab. In that regard, it's perfect. I however, find Incognito this Tab to be lacking in features. I migrated to Incognito This Tab from Incognito This when the dev decided to add a bunch of junk onto his extension to make money. Some features that Incognito This has that Incognito This Tab doesn't have are: 1. Erasing the tab from your history when you switch the tab to incognito - Incognito This Tab does not do this which is probably the most essential part of why most people use incognito mode. Not having this feature really diminishes a lot of the extension's functionality and makes it significantly less useful. 2. Keyword Switching - Incognito This had an option where you could have a tab automatically open in incognito mode if it had a keyword that the user set in the URL. 3. Keyboard Shortcut - Incognito This allowed you to set a keyboard shortcut for switching a tab to incognito mode while Incognito This Tab does not. 4. Automatic Inactivity Close - This feature isn't really that important to me but to some it is. Basically what this did was automatically close any tabs that had been inactive for a user set amount of time. These are just suggestions that I think the dev should add. You should definitely NOT switch over to Incognito This. At least you shouldn't until the Dev for Incognito This removes the adware from his extension. The tradeoff is by no means worth it in any way.
This extension does exactly what it needs to without requiring arbitrary permissions or trying to load in malware/adware like the *other* incognito extension. The only flaw is that there is no option to remove the context menu button.
I use this extension a lot. As far as incognito in a new window vs new tab, I think that's a chrome issue - there is no way to have separate user profiles in the same window with a different tab; it's always in a new window. I'm not sure I would even want two separate profiles (user 1 vs user 2, or user 1 public vs private) in the same window. It would be too easy to make a mistake.
opens new window, does not work on 'this tab'
****ADWARE***DO NOT INSTALL*** Recently I noticed unsolicited popups whenever visiting shopping sites. After a series of elimination rounds, I found that the culprit was this extension. Do NOT install.
incognito button!
This is add ware. Does what it wants but i have add block for a reason.... (hint. the reason i so i don't have to see advertisements at all)
Original Incognito This! was much better
Would be nice if it had a keyboard shortcut in addition to the menu entry. It'd also be nice if pressing the button in incognito mode opened the tab in non-incognito mode.
This app seems to not have the Spyware added. Thank you.
Does not remove the tab from "recently visited" or "recently closed' histories. This is useless.
Does what it says, and a replacement for "Incognito This!" which unfortunately became malware recently. An option to remove the context menu entry would be nice.
@Scott Smyth I think that was another, similar extension called IncognitoThis! This extension seems fine.
