User reviews

InCognito is praised for enabling private LinkedIn browsing, being simple, effective, and beneficial for lead generation. Users appreciate its quick toggle for privacy mode and its ease of use for heavy LinkedIn users. However, multiple users report that the extension has stopped working recently, likely due to LinkedIn's updates. Some find it annoying to repeatedly adjust visibility settings, and a few dislike the grey overlay on LinkedIn pages when active.
