Open Chrome in Incognito Mode from Alfred

 

This extension will allow you to open Google Chrome in its Incognito mode for those times you need a flash capable browser with the added benefits of Chrome’s private mode.

I like to mark the Chrome application to be ignored by Alfred so that when I start typing Chrome this extension is the only one that comes up, that way I use it every time. To configure this simply pull up the info for the Google Chrome application and add alfred:ignore in the Spotlight comments.

 

 

Now install this Alfred extension: Open Google Chrome

This extension just executes the command:

open -a Google\ Chrome –new –args -incognito

Again, I have no idea why anyone would ever need this extension but here it is if you want it!

Tested on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) – Google Chrome 10.0.874.106

  • Chrome

    Just try the following in the programs properties
    “C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –incognito
    It’s much simpler and doesn’t require any extensions

    This is a Mac application and thus the above is not possible :P

    Hi, I think you need to have paid for the “Powerpack” version of Alfred in order to use extensions.

    Would be nice if there would be a possibility to open a new, fresh window, with no preset pages – thouse i open with a new normal chrome window.
