Update: We invite you to test our new extension Go Incognito. It is almost similar to this Incognito This Tab extension, but offers two advanced features requested by many users: Closes the current tab after opening it in incognito, and removes it from the browsing history.

wonderful extension. simple and to-the-point. I really appreciate that it doesn’t require any permission like the one I was using earlier. Just like Android apps, Chrome extensions are also critical for user’s privacy. Great Job!
A simple button that makes something rather complex – copying the URL of the current page, closing that page, opening a new incognito window then pasting the URL – into a one click experience. I’ve found it very useful when for whatever stupid reason a video won’t play because of other extensions installed. This extension solves that problem nearly every time.
Thanks for making this extension. Very helpful
Very useful. I wish the extension had an option to open the incognito window with or without javascript enabled. For those Chromebook users who prefer to browse with javascript disabled but occasionally do need it enabled.
I’ve been always look for such an extension. Thanks for making my world better. (-:
great extension. use it all the time.
fantastic!
