Summary

Analyze keywords

In case you use Incognito windows at work (or home) and forget to close them, this extension will keep your co-workers from happening upon your private windows by automatically closing them for you after a period of inactivity. Choose any number of minutes from 1 to 5 hours and then rest assured that your window will quietly be closed for you if you forget.

NOTE: You must enable the extension to work in Incognito mode in order for this to do the job it is intended to do.

Terrible. It closed all incognito tabs after 5 minutes, regardless of activity. I tried setting the time to other values, but it ignored that always used 5.

Alors que je navigue activement sur une page web en mode navigation privée, la fenêtre se ferme sans prévenir après ce qui semble être le délai programmé dans les options de l'extension. Ou peut-être un peu plus longtemps. Bogue ou limitation? Je m'attends à ce que la fenêtre de navigation privée se ferme après le délai programmé seulement si je la laisse sans surveillance.

I like the extension and its simplicity, but have found that it closes the entire incognito session if any one tab is idle for the allotted time. It would really help if this was changed to a session (ideal) or individual tab option.
