I notice that if you enter incognito mode in chrome, while using ublock origin, the extension is disabled in the incognito window/session.
However, it's not obvious to me that the protections offered by incognito are a superset of the protections offered by UO and I wonder why this is desirable ?
Do I want incognito mode with UO running on it or is that unnecessary ?
- daxterspeed 9y agoWhen you install an extension in chrome it's by default set to be disabled in incognito mode (supposedly since some extensions don't respect privacy). From the extensions page you can easily set UO, or any other extensions for that matter, to remain enabled in incognito mode windows. Last time I checked chrome does not by itself offer any tracking protection while in incognito mode (supposedly since this would make it easier to detect when a user is in incognito mode). So you probably want UO enabled for that.
- skellera 9y agoI think chrome does a similar thing as is it possible to track through certain extensions so they default to off. If you know that extension isn’t tracking then you should be able to turn it back on.
- nikcub 9y agoYou want uBlock Origin incognito chrome://extensions -> uBlock Origin -> allow in incognito The tradeoff is that many extensions are not safe and could spy on your incognito activity if allowed to work incognito
