Incognito Regex (Fixed Version) Extension

I will not fix further errors.
It seems to work currently (2019)!
>>However, even though it does open a site in incognito mode - the site may still set a cookies in Chrome.

This extension allows you to set up Regular Expressions for websites that you want to always be opened in Incognito mode.

For example, if you don't want anyone to know you visit gawker.com simply add in the following entry: \".*gawker\\.com\" without the quotes.

This is not my extension, all credit goes to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/incognito-regex/phodabgmalihpnmmlgoplifofcdnjoll/details

I've just fixed some bugs.

Taz Edwards (ID: 000000379a39d109) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/17/2021 Seems to still work in 2021. Instructions are little cryptic, though. Here's what to do- 1. Leave your existing bookmark(s) as-is in your normal, non-incognito window 2. Pin this extention to your browser window 3. Click the extention silhouette and click options 4. Add the domain in 'pattern' with the syntax changes as described and click the + sign 5. Click your normal bookmark but not from a tab you want to keep since this extention will remove that tab and create a new incog window.

Michael Tomlinson (ID: 000000e9a1c76c33) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/31/2016 It's just opening every link I click into an Incognito window regardless of the sites I put on the list. Still a bit buggy.

Carl Steinhilber (ID: 0000001c59957d53) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/20/2016 This doesn't seem to work anymore. Using Chrome Version 51.0.2704.54 beta-m (64-bit) It opens EVERY site in incognito mode, even if there are no patterns active.

joseph dunn (ID: 000000051506f51d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/15/2015 After placing websites in the box to remind this extension to always open my websites in incognito it works but, stops working if you have to reboot. A wasteful item.
