Geek Software of the Week: Incognito-Filter for Chrome

So, you want to be super safe and fully incognito when you surf? Are you paranoid? Do you want to protect your privacy? Well, this week’s Geek Software of the week is for you! You must be using the Chrome Browser (but, of course, you are already!) This is a Chrome extension, check it out!

Go to the Google Chrome Web Store, and look up “Incognito-Filter” exactly as shown in the quotes. Good stuff!

“Open specific websites in a sandboxed Incognito Window, permanently.

Why am I safer with Incognito Windows?

Services like Google+ or Facebook can log any website you visit with their Like or +1 buttons on third party websites, if you are logged into their network. Enter facebook.com or accounts.google.com into Inkognitorizer to open these pages in a save Inkognito Window and stop those services from hijacking your surf history.

Malicious Chrome extensions could log your passwords or manipulate sites you visit.

Chrome extensions are inactive in the Inkognito modus, useful for ‘paypal.com’ and your online-banking sites.

Alternatives:

A similar extension is “Incognito Regex”. Unfortunately, this is much slower because it loads websites twice (once in Normal Mode and later in Incognito Mode). Incognito-Filter, however, opens the urls immediately in the Incognito Window.”
