1: Google Chrome
Chrome is a very strong browser, especially known for its incognito mode feature. To configure it to start directly in incognito mode:
Right-click the shortcut you use for Google Chrome. If your shortcut is pinned to the taskbar, right-click on the pinned icon and then right-click on Google Chrome.
Click “Properties.”
Under “Target,” you’ll see a path. After that path, attach ”-incognito” to the end of it. Click “OK” when you’re finished.
That’s all you have to do! Chrome will now start up in incognito mode.
2: Mozilla Firefox
This one’s a little tricky. Firefox has a “private browsing mode,” but it’s not really so much of a mode as a temporary setting in your options. It temporarily forgets all the history in your browsing session while using the feature. The same goes for any other browser’s private browsing feature. Unlike with Chrome, you can configure Firefox to let you browse privately on startup without any workarounds. The most transparent way to set this up is through the “Privacy” section within the “Options” dialog:
Click the orange “Firefox” button on the upper left corner of the window and click “Options.”
Navigate to “Privacy.”
Select “Never remember history” under “Firefox will.”
After setting this, Firefox will always forget every website you navigate to.
3: Internet Explorer
For Internet Explorer, the configuration is very similar to Chrome’s.
Right-click on the shortcut you use to access Internet Explorer and click “Properties.”
Under “Target,” you’ll see a path. Type ”-private” after the path.
Click “OK.”
This setting is straightforward for the most part.
4. Safari
Unfortunately there is no way to keep Safari in private browsing mode after it’s turned off. Every time the app is opened, Private Safari will have to be initiated unless you set up an AppleScript.
With Safari open, pull down on the Safari menu and choose Private Browsing.
In the resulting dialog box, Click OK to confirm.
A bar with the word “Private” will appear in the address bar.
To turn off, either click the Private button in the address bar or pull down on the Safari menu again and choose Private Browsing again to turn it off.
