      Chrome supports an incognito command line switch you can embed into shortcuts/launchers: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/incognito-mode-shortcut/ http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/incognito-mode-shortcut/ Firefox similarly offers a -private flag: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Lin... Edge does not currently support the same, but there's a UserVoice request on the topic: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/9245247-inprivate-command-line-switch https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-dev...
