There isn't a single direct way to open a link directly in an Incognito window with one click, but you can quickly achieve the same result through a few methods. Here's how:
Methods for Opening Links in Incognito:
1. Using the Right-Click Context Menu (Most Common):
This is arguably the most convenient method:
- Right-click on the link you want to open.
- In the context menu that appears, select "Open link in incognito window" (or a similar wording, depending on your browser). This option directly opens the link in a new Incognito window.
2. Copying and Pasting the Link:
This method works universally:
- Copy the link you want to open (right-click and select "Copy link address" or similar).
- Open a new Incognito window. You can do this using the keyboard shortcut:
- Windows:
Ctrl+Shift+N
- macOS:
Command+Shift+N
- Alternatively, you can open the browser's menu (usually three dots or lines in the top-right corner) and select "New Incognito Window."
- Windows:
- Paste the copied link into the address bar of the Incognito window and press Enter.
3. Dragging the Link:
This is a less common but still functional method:
- Open a New Incognito Window: Use the steps described in method 2.
- Drag the link from the original page and drop it onto the address bar of the newly created Incognito Window. This opens the link automatically.
Summary
While there's no one-click solution, right-clicking and selecting "Open link in incognito window" or copying and pasting the link are the most efficient ways to open a specific link in a private browsing session. Remember to use Ctrl+Shift+N
(Windows) or Command+Shift+N
(macOS) for quickly launching a new Incognito window.
