Here, tap on the option Privacy > Clear on Exit and select everything you see here. Once both versions of Firefox are installed, open the Beta version and navigate to the browser settings. So the trick here is to install two versions of Firefox from the Play Store, one normal browser and one Firefox Beta. There’s no direct way a Firefox user can open links in the Private Window, but you can choose to make your Firefox forget all the history when you exit the app. You can choose to make that a default option or just select Only Once to be able to choose each time.

Next time you open up a link on your droid, the phone will give you an additional option to open the link directly in Chrome’s incognito window. There are no additional settings required. KitKat users can use the native installation method and Lollipop users can use the Xposed hack for the time being.Īfter the phone reboots, you are all set. Note: As this trick requires Xposed framework to be installed on your device, you can check out our guides on how you can acquire that if you don’t already have it. Finally you can reboot the device, but if you wish to soft reboot, which takes a lot less time than the hard reboot, you can choose the option from the Framework section in Xposed app. After the app is installed, navigate to the Module section and activate the IncognitoTab module. The build is stable and less than 100KBs. In the Xposed framework, navigate to the Download section, look for IncognitoTab and install it. We will also have a look at an easy shortcut to implement the same for Firefox users ( Firefox for Android, of course). This trick will make Android think about Chrome’s incognito tab as a separate browser and will ask you to choose which way you would like to browse when you open an external link.

So today I am going to show you how to open links directly into Chrome’s incognito window using a simple Xposed module called IncognitoTab. The links open in the regular browser and by then the damage is already done. But when it comes to Android, there’s no built-in way to click on external links and open them directly in the incognito mode. Whenever we have to open a link on the browser for desktops in an incognito window, one can simply right-click on the link and select the option Open link in incognito window. Once you are done browsing, even the device doesn’t remember if you have ever visited the page in the past. Chrome’s Incognito Mode or Firefox Private Window, be it on the computer or on Android, is a great way to browse the web without piling up a browsing history and to prevent cookies from being stored on the device.
