If you’re a Chrome user and you want to keep your browsing activity private, there’s a way to do it. But before you start, make sure that you have Incognito Mode enabled in your browser. If not, you’ll need to enable it first. To do so, open Chrome and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. From here, select “Settings.” Then click on “Incognito Mode.” Now that Incognito Mode is enabled, all your browsing activity will be hidden from view. However, if you ever want to view it again, just open Chrome and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window again. From here, select “Settings.” Then click on “Incognito Mode.”
Setting Iron & Chrome Up for Incognito Mode Auto Start
For our example, we are using the program shortcuts for Iron Browser. The same method is used for both programs.
Locate the shortcut(s) for Iron (and/or Chrome) and right click on them. Select “Properties”.
Once you have clicked through, you will see the “Properties” window with the “Shortcut” tab displayed.
In the address area for “Target:” you will need to add the following command to the end of the target path making certain to leave a single space in between the final quote mark and the incognito command.
An example of what the the target path should look like in Iron (the home folder name may vary based on your installation choices)…
Note: This is what the target path should look like for Chrome…
Once you have finished that, click “Apply”, then “OK”.
That is all there is to it! Enjoy browsing the Internet anonymously!
