3] On the Extensions tab, look for the extension you want to enable in Incognito mode and click the “Details” button below it.

4] On the details page, locate the “Allow in incognito” option and enable the toggle beside it.

6] When you’re done enabling for all required extensions, close the tab.

That’s it! You’ll be able to use Chrome extensions in Incognito mode.

How Incognito Mode Protects your Privacy?

Let’s see what Chrome Incognito mode can do for your extensions.

What Incognito mode can do

• Your data is not saved on your device or your Google account’s browsing activity. However, if you are purchasing something online then the site will keep the record.
• Google clears site data and cookies of a particular session when you close the incognito mode and websites, including Google, don’t know you are using the incognito mode.
• But if you are suing an extension in Chrome, it may save your data.

What Incognito mode can’t do

• It can’t stop any website from saving your activity if you sign in to that site.
• It also can’t stop the websites you visit, your school, employer, or your ISP from locating your address and activities.
• Websites can also show you ads based on your activity in the incognito. However, you won’t see those ads once you close the session.
