How to start Chrome in Incognito Mode

If you are interested in browsing the web without leaving a lot of cached data hanging around after you are done you should try using Google Chrome in Incognito Mode.

Michael T. Bee has written a small script that starts up Chrome in incognito mode automatically. This is very convenient when you are really concerned about your browsing privacy. Of course, you can switch Chrome in Incognito Mode by yoursefl, but this is faster and more confortable.

The script, that you can see below, can be pasted into Notepad or another editor and save as a .js file. It starts Chrome, opens a no-cookie, no-tracks-left Incognito window, then kills the first window.

//Chrome_Incognito.js – start new chrome incognito(sort of)

var liWait=175; //wait ms (double on older pc)

var oSh=new ActiveXObject(“WScript.Shell”);
oSh.Run(“chrome.exe”); //start chrome
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(“^+N”); //start new incognito window
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(“%{Tab}”); //go previous(first) browser window
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(“%{F4}”); //close first browser window

Find all the details you need on Michael T. Bee‘s blog.

Enjoy!

    Uh, not needed. You could just add “–incognito” to the target line in the shortcut properties. Much simpler and less prone to error.

    How can i watch videos on my phone the INCONGNITO? Because when i go on the internet on YouTube.com, and i click to watch a video it says “Device unavailble,” what does that mean? Do i have to buy something for my phone in order to watch them? If so what is it? Or what do i have to do?
    My other question is; how do i put songs on my phone? I already bought the chip and some other wierd wires. But i still can’t seem to transfer to songs from my computer to the chip in my phone. It would be great if you could answer my two questions.
