Always On Top For Google Chrome In Mac Users Can

If you prefer incognito browsing over normal browsing sessions (were not judging) but are vexed with the fact that there is no one-click method to launch Chrome in Incognito by default, you can do so with a little script.

This particular method is meant to work in OS X only, as Windows users can always directly launch Chrome in Incognito mode from its Jumplist (just as Mac users can do so from the Dock icons options).

The script is meant to launch Chrome in Incognito mode with one click using a dedicated shortcut created in form of an AppleScript app.

If you want to be able to search and run it from Spotlight search, you should add it to the Applications folder.

If youre only ever going to use Chrome in Incognito mode, all you need to do now is to remove the apps icon from the Launchpad and keep only this script there.

So if youre looking for a method that will open Chrome in Incognito mode regardless of whether its already running in normal mode or not, open AppleScript Editor and save the following script as an application.

The catch with this method is that it will close all other Chrome windows when launched.

What you can do is modify the icon to something that is easier to identify.

Open that image in Preview and from the Edit menu, click Select All, followed by Copy.

You can select the image by clicking and dragging your cursor over it, though there is a chance you might not select all of it.

In Firefox all you have to do is set your history to never save and youre done.

To make it work with Chrome already open and without closing any window, the second script should be used but without the close windows line.

Now, how can this be set as default browser so that when a link is clicked on, in say an email, chrome will use this application to open in incognito.
