Chrome incognito option not working on OSX

Open vorgos opened this issue 10 years ago • 6 comments

Trying to add entry to launch Chrome with -incognito option in arguments section but it does not work.

On the command line I launch it like this...

open -n -a /Applications/Chrome.app --args "imgur.com" "-incognito" Thx

Works for me. Note that --incognito is the only arg you need in OW and requires two dashes.

Okay, I was wrong. When I can get my OS X machine to stop crashing, I'll fix this, in the meantime, try --args --incognito. (I'll fix OW to add the --args automatically.)

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app" --args --incognito isn't working for me. This is on Mojave.

Also what would be the equivalent for Private Mode?

It also does not work for me. When I open with the above configuration, my regular Chrome comes into foreground, Inkognito does not open.

Partially working for me is: open -na "Google Chrome" --args --incognito

However, it opens a new Chrome process every time.

It does work though...so thank you for that :)

New process or not!
