Make Google Chrome & Iron Browser Start in Incognito Mode

Needing or wanting to use Incognito Mode every time you browse the internet, but tired of always having to manually switch over?  Now you can start in Incognito Mode automatically every time you open your browser.

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!

   @Tim – Actually that is the regular install of Iron Browser on my system. I gave it a custom name and chose the custom icon since I have more than one Iron Browser on my computer (the others are portables). ^__^ Giving all of my browsers unique designations like that makes it more fun for me and is also very helpful when using Launchy. ^__^

   When Chrome tells you what to be wary of, it forgets one thing: be wary of Chrome returning the URLs of the sites you visit to Google before you press enter.

   @Kalle – I do not think that it is possible yet with the portable version. I am hoping that is something that can become possible with future releases of Iron and Chrome…
