Always open certain sites incognito (Chrome) or anonymously (Firefox)

We all have a list of websites that we always want to open incognito with Chrome or Firefox. There are many reasons to use incognito browsing, for example, to not memorize the visit to an embarrassing site or to open Facebook or Gmail with another account or to try to access one of our accounts, in order to verify the security measures. active.If we use anonymous or incognito browsing with the same sites, it can be very useful to open some pages automatically incognito on Chrome and Firefox. Basically, when you click on a site selected from the favorites bar or by writing its address, it will automatically open in a private window, so as not to leave traces and access the site as if it were the first time.

Open incognito sites on Chrome

Per Google Chrome we can install the Auto Incognito Mode extension, which allows you to create a list of websites to automatically open in incognito mode.

We can write the sites to open incognito manually in the extension list or we can open a site normally and then press the extension button to add it automatically. You can also give a Name to each added site, which is what appears when you click on the extension, in order to hide the list of sites that you always want to open incognito. After adding, let’s try to open a site added to the list: we will notice that the still open tab of the site closes automatically in Chrome to open in an incognito window.

If, on the other hand, we want to immediately open a Chrome session in disguise we can follow two different paths. The first procedure involves right-clicking on the Google Chrome icon in the taskbar so that you can click on the New incognito window.
If we want to open Google Chrome directly incognito from the desktop, add the program icon on it, press the right button on it, choose the item Property and, in the field Destination, we add a space (with the space bar) at the end of the path (without deleting it), we add the string -incognito and finally click on OK. From now on, pressing this shortcut on the desktop will immediately open Chrome in incognito mode, for all the sites we want to visit.

Open incognito sites on Firefox

Per Firefox we can open certain sites in disguise using the Open in Private Mode extension, a simple add-on that provides a button to open the tab displayed in private mode.

Once added to the browser, make sure to provide the permissions for incognito access, otherwise, it will not work correctly. To do this, press on the top right of the menu with the three lines, press on Add-ons and themes, let’s open the menu Extensions, press on the extension just installed, and scroll until you find the item Operation in anonymous windows, so you can select Consented.
Besides this extension we can protect the privacy of individual bookmarks by downloading a very extension like Private Bookmarks; with it, we will be able to add a password to bookmark folders or individual bookmarks, open only incognito windows and protect our privacy when we use the Mozilla browser.

To always open Firefox in the incognito mode we can act directly from the browser settings, without having to change links. To proceed, press again at the top right on the menu with the three lines, click on Options, let’s get to the menu Privacy and security and, next to the section History settings, select the item Non to save the history; in the same menu, we scroll until we find the item Delete cookies and website data when Firefox closes, which should be activated immediately. To make the incognito mode even more effective, let’s also go to the General menu and remove the checkmark next to the item Restore the previous session.
