Chrome Incognito Killer Extension

**IMPORTANT**
YOU MUST ALLOW THIS EXTENSION IN INCOGNITO MODE FROM THE CHROME EXTENSIONS PAGE
If you don't Incog killer won't even be able to see incognito tabs to close.

Chrome Incognito Killer will close any incognito tabs or tabs with URLs matching user defined patterns after detecting a system login or resume, or after it reaches a defined period of inactivity. This means other people won't see your embarrassing tabs if they hop onto your computer and you forgot to close everything.

Incognito mode is for shopping, right?

Many people experience a sudden sleepiness shortly after they finish \"shopping online\", especially late at night after everyone else goes to bed. As everyone knows, a sleepy person makes mistakes like leaving tabs open to the websites they were \"shopping\" on.

If someone else uses the computer the next day, the \"surprise gift\" could be seen.

In comes Chrome incognito killer.
After a pre-defined time period (default of 15 minutes) of no activity on your computer, this extension will find any open incognito tabs and close them; hiding all of your \"shopping activity\".
Additionally, this extension will close any incognito tabs if it detects that your computer was recently woken up from hibernate mode or logged in from a lock screen.

If you sometimes \"shop\" without using incognito mode, you can define url patterns to find non-incognito tabs that should be closed as well.


**IMPORTANT**
YOU MUST ALLOW THIS EXTENSION IN INCOGNITO MODE FROM THE CHROME EXTENSIONS PAGE
If you don't Incog killer won't even be able to see incognito tabs to close.

楊林 (ID: 000000e58f039d16) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/01/2018 當你離開電腦,沒有輸入之後,可以定時關閉某個網頁,甚至可以用通配符關閉一系列的網頁,很方便而且有效。晚上睡覺前聼電臺很舒服。 After you leafed from computer, it can kill a page or a set of pages automatically during a time which you set. It is quite useful when I am listening podcast before I fall in sleep. Great!!!!

Felino Matos (ID: 000000c56c0791e1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/19/2017 i like it, it does what it promise, you should add an option to close the incognito windows in a particular set time when not in idle, for example, im still on the computer but i know my supervisor check my computer every 15min 20 or whatever. I'm surprise that it work also if the laptop goes on standby, nice work mate. thanks.
