How to develop Chrome extensions


  1. Do you have any information about extensions not working in incognito mode?

  2. I've just noticed Extensions are disabled in Incognito mode on purpose. The menu option under Tools is "greyed out". I'm wondering why did they do that. Is there any hope that it will be enabled any time soon?

  3. Well, chrome has no control over what extensions do so I suppose they can't guarantee your privacy in Incognito mode with extensions enabled.

  4. I also thought not being able to guarantee privacy is the reason why they decided to disable extensions in Incognito mode, but then I checked Firefox and guess what? They have add-ons enabled in Private Browsing mode.
    So I'm just wondering if that's the real reason or just some other technical one. Also, if Mozilla can guarantee privacy in this situation, why can't Google? Aren't Chrome extensions being checked by anyone (the community or Google) for malicious code?

  5. It's a known issue, but I don't understand why you can't use extensions in the incognito mode. Here's the explanation of a Googler:

    "For the record, the issue is that we're not sure what it should mean to install extensions in incognito mode.

    Do you get the same extensions in incognito mode that you had in normal mode, or is it a different set? If they are the same, are they limited in anyway as to what they can store, or is it up to them to do the right thing? If it's up to them, how do they even know that they are in incognito mode?"

  6. Thanks Alex for clearing this out for me. I hope this was helpful for other people, too. And I really hope they will reconsider ditching Extensions in Incognito mode. I really like the way Chrome allows you to have both Incognito and non-Incognito windows open at the same time. But if I can't use extensions in my incognito windows, I will have to switch back to Firefox and their mutually exclusive approach regarding Private Browsing windows...

  10. Once the chrome has started to break down, you really don't have any choice. Have you tried angle hair or .000 steel wool with polishing compound? I've used this in the past with very good results. Follow this with a good quality wax.

  11. Danke Alex für das Clearing von dieser für mich. Ich hoffe, das war hilfreich für andere Menschen auch. Und ich hoffe, sie werden zu überdenken Notwasserung Erweiterungen in Incognito-Modus. Ich mag die Art und Weise Chrome können Sie sowohl Incognito und Nicht-Incognito-Fenster gleichzeitig geöffnet Zeit haben. Aber wenn ich nicht verwenden können Erweiterungen in meinem Inkognito-Fenster, werde ich zurück zu Firefox wechseln und sich gegenseitig ausschließen Ansatz für Private Browsing-Fenster ...
