Same issue w/ firefox.

There should be at least a setting to enable new window or not. Maybe that might be a short term fix for this issue?

Selenium IDE does not officially support incognito mode, the previous way of doing it was a workaround, which by changing the way we manage sessions (to be close to WebDriver), we have left some users without answers.
Rest assured we will provide a first party solution to launching the windows in incognito mode instead of normal browsing mode.

fwiw, the kantu ide works well in incognito mode. I tested it with Firefox and Chrome.

any developments on this, interested in incognito mode!

@rickyPanzer No developments, unfortunately. Adding icognito mode is only half of the solution since the session store for all active icognito sessions would be shared. The proper fix is to spawn a pristine session for each test run, which webdriver does out of the box. This is what we will use in the next major version of the IDE -- playback on webdriver. So for now, this issue is stalled until the next major version.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ has multiple containers, each with independent unshared sessions.

  • I'm not sure whether you can integrate with them or not
  • I'm not sure if there's a Chrome equivalent

...but I thought it might provide some kind of help or inspiration.

HTH,
