How to enable an extension in Chrome's Incognito Mode

By default, Google Chrome does not run extensions in Incognito mode because they may compromise your privacy. However, if you want to allow extensions to run in incognito mode, it is easy to do so. See below what you need to do.

Incognito Mode Chrome

First, open “Chrome.” Click on the “Extensions” icon in the toolbar,which looks like a puzzle piece. When the menu appears, select “Manage extensions.”

Incognito Mode

If you don't see a puzzle-shaped button in the bar , click the button with the three vertical dots and select More tools > Extensions from the menu.

When appears , locate the name of the extension you want to enable in Incognito mode and click the “Details” button next to it.

On the extension's details page, scroll down and locate the “Allow in incognito” option. Click the button next to it to enable.

Warning: Extensions that you enable in Incognito mode may record browsing history or other private data that could potentially be shared with third parties. They will work just as they do in standard browsing mode. Make sure you fully trust the extension before giving it access to your private browsing.

If you need to do the same with other extensions, click the back button and then visit each extension's "Details" page. Turn on "Allow in incognito" for each extension you want to use in incognito mode.

When you're done, close the "Extensions" tab and the setting will take effect immediately. You'll be able to use the extensions you enabled in incognito mode, and they'll still be active in non-private browsing mode. Happy browsing!
