Always opening external links in incognito window Chrome on Mac OS
Until version 68 Google Chrome when you clicked on external link it would open it window that is currently active no matter if it is incognito or not. Now, when you click on external link and Incognito window is window that you are currently on it would open it in current non-incognito window.
This is not a bug, this is the way Chrome is supposed to work as stated here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/yefXCMUfjz8
Is There a way to edit how external links open on Mac OS Google Chrome? I would like to always open external links in incognito window
In Windows 10 you can do this by changing Regedit.exe:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesChromeHTMLshellopencommand
From
"C:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe" -- "%1"
To
"C:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe" -incognito -- "%1"
Can something similar be done on Mac OS?
