Hide Incognito Mode

This extension helps you avoid some incognito mode detection methods, allowing you to view certain web pages in incognito mode.

Hide Incognito Mode Extension

The Hide Incognito Mode extension allows you to bypass restrictions imposed by certain websites that block access when using incognito mode. This lightweight tool tricks these sites into thinking that you are not browsing privately, enabling you to view content without limitations, like reading multiple articles for free.
It offers two modes: Normal Mode, which enables incognito-cloaking, and Bandit Mode, which additionally clears cookies and private data with every page load. Installation is straightforward, but remember to enable the extension for incognito tabs in Chrome settings for full functionality. This extension is ideal for users who want to enjoy content discreetly while adhering to the websites' access policies.

Words of advice, if you're going to use it to hide incognito, go ahead, but whatever you do NEVER CLEAR INCOGNITO SESSION PRIVATE DATA the reason I'm saying this was because when I was using it for what I thought it was when I clicked that button, all my passwords, I had this google account for over 5 years and the passwords were deleted with no way to recover, at first I didn't think the extension deleted my passwords but I tested it again and it removed all my password permanently. This extension is only good if u leave it in your extension list untouched.
