Always open your chosen sites in incognito

Add a site once. It opens in incognito.

  1. 1

    Add it to Chrome

    One click on the Chrome Web Store. No account, nothing to set up.

  2. 2

    Mark a site

    Open the site, click the toolbar icon and press “Enable for this site”. Or right-click the page and choose “Toggle incognito for this site”.

  3. 3

    Browse as usual

    Next time you open that site, by a link, a typed address or a bookmark, it moves to an incognito window by itself.

When it helps

0

Entries in the shared history

Gift shopping, banking or a clinic portal on a family computer. The visits stay out of the history everyone else sees.

2

Accounts on one site

An incognito window starts without your regular cookies, so you can sign in to a second account next to the first.

Guest

A first-time view, every time

Developers and testers see a site the way a logged-out visitor does, without saved sessions or cookies.

What it does

  • Opens incognito automatically

    When you open a listed site in a normal window, the tab closes and the same address opens in a new incognito window.

  • One entry, whole site

    Add en.wikipedia.org and it saves wikipedia.org, so www, mail and every other subdomain are covered. Endings like .co.uk and .com.au are handled.

  • Right-click to add a site

    “Toggle incognito for this site” in the page menu adds or removes the current site without opening the popup.

  • Your list, in one place

    “Saved sites” in the popup lists every entry. Remove one with its × button.

  • History safety net

    After the redirect, the address is also deleted from your regular history, in case it was recorded.

  • Synced list

    The list is saved with Chrome sync, so it follows you to your other computers.

Why Chrome can't keep a site in incognito by itself

Chrome's incognito mode is a window you open by hand with Ctrl+Shift+N. There is no setting that says “this site always opens privately”, so every visit depends on remembering to switch windows first. One link clicked in the wrong window, and the site is in your history and in the address bar suggestions.

Auto-Incognito for Sites makes the choice once for you. It watches where your normal windows navigate, and when the address belongs to a site on your list, it hands it to a new incognito window as soon as the navigation starts. What incognito does stays the same: no history and no saved cookies after the last incognito window closes. It does not hide your activity from the websites themselves, your employer, your school or your internet provider.

Private by design

  • No account

    Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log in to.

  • Your list stays in Chrome

    Saved in Chrome's own sync storage. No servers, no analytics; your browsing goes nowhere.

  • Five permissions, one job each

    Read the current tab's address, watch navigations to match your list, add the right-click item, save the list, delete a matched address from history.

Questions

How do I make a website always open in incognito in Chrome?

Chrome has no per-site setting for it. Add Auto-Incognito for Sites, open the site, click the extension icon and press “Enable for this site”. From then on the site opens in an incognito window by itself.

Can a link open in incognito automatically?

Yes, for sites on your list. Whether you click a link, type the address or use a bookmark, a listed site opens in a new incognito window and the original tab closes.

Does it keep the site out of my browsing history?

The extension catches the visit as soon as navigation starts and moves it to incognito, then deletes the address from your regular history as a safety net. Chrome saves no history inside incognito windows.

Does incognito hide my browsing from my employer or internet provider?

No. Incognito keeps visits out of this browser's history and drops its cookies when you close the window. Websites, your employer, your school and your internet provider can still see the activity.

Do I have to add every subdomain?

No. One entry covers the whole site: adding en.wikipedia.org saves wikipedia.org, which includes www, mail and any other subdomain.

Why do I have to sign in again on a listed site?

An incognito window starts without your regular cookies, so your usual logins don't carry over. Each redirect opens a new incognito window, and you sign in inside it.

How do I stop a site from opening in incognito?

Open the popup and press “Disable for this site”, remove the site with × under “Saved sites”, or choose “Toggle incognito for this site” in the right-click menu again.

Is it free? Does it collect any data?

It's free, with no account and no analytics. Your site list is kept in Chrome's sync storage and is never sent to us.

Some sites stay off the record.
