Extension summary

Google Chrome’s incognito mode is useful for a whole lot of things, also beyond the cliché dirty stuff one might prefer to be hidden from his browser history:

  • Signing in on websites with different accounts or letting others do stuff without leaving marks on your browser

  • Wanting certain stuff to not be tracked by advertisers

  • Wanting more control of what shouldn’t go into consideration for personalised experiences on websites

  • Other temporary research and things there’s just no need for to be remembered by the browser

  • Tricking websites into treating you like a stranger

If you make use of the incognito mode extensively in your normal browsing experience, you might find yourself in situations where you’ve got a lot of tabs open in incognito mode that you don’t want to close yet, but you also want to visit a new website or do something where the initial incognito experience without the websites knowing anything about you should be replicated.

This is what this extension was made for: The Incognito Mode Reset Button deletes all data - history, cache, cookies, ... - that have been amassed within a running incognito session over time without having to close all incognito tabs.

Can I extend this to only erase the content from the current and related sites. Often when going through SSO activities multiple sites are involved. It would be nice to be able to target just them. If you could do that you could even release a non-incognito solution to reset last auth,
