Automatically switch to Incognito mode when a regex matches. (Fixed by LewxX)

What is Incognito Regex (Fixed Version)?

Incognito Regex (Fixed Version) is a Chrome extension developed and updated by LewxX. It allows users to set up Regular Expressions for specific websites that they want to be automatically opened in Incognito mode. Despite its functionality, it's important to note that websites could still set cookies in your Chrome browser. Please be aware that this is not a fresh extension, only a fixed version of the previous Incognito Regex extension, with bugs repaired by LewxX.

Summary

Analyze keywords

I will not fix further errors. It seems to work currently (2019)!

However, even though it does open a site in incognito mode - the site may still set a cookies in Chrome.

This extension allows you to set up Regular Expressions for websites that you want to always be opened in Incognito mode.

For example, if you don't want anyone to know you visit gawker.com simply add in the following entry: ".*gawker.com" without the quotes.

I've just fixed some bugs.

Seems to still work in 2021. Instructions are little cryptic, though. Here's what to do- 1. Leave your existing bookmark(s) as-is in your normal, non-incognito window 2. Pin this extention to your browser window 3. Click the extention silhouette and click options 4. Add the domain in 'pattern' with the syntax changes as described and click the + sign 5. Click your normal bookmark but not from a tab you want to keep since this extention will remove that tab and create a new incog window.

It worked great

It's just opening every link I click into an Incognito window regardless of the sites I put on the list. Still a bit buggy.
