User Reviews
Hello,
Could you please update this add-on so that it also works when selecting “Open in Private Window” from the tab’s context menu?
For reference, here is a screenshot:

Ideally, it would be great if the “Open in Private Window” option could be positioned directly below the native “Open in New Container Tab” entry for consistency.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have an option to disable or hide the “Open Link in Private Window” entry from the link context menu. This would allow users who prefer using the add-on only from the tab context menu to avoid cluttering their link context menus.
Thank you for considering these requests.

Is Open Incognito Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Open Incognito requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Open Incognito has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
