Opening a private window in your browser through python

Question

I've found a way to open a tab using webbrowser but that's not really what I'm looking for as it really needs to be a private window (a private tab is fine too). :/ any ideas ?

Answer 1

For chrome, you can use

import os
os.system("chrome -incognito http://example.com")

depending on your OS, chrome may be installed under a different name such as google-chrome or chrome-stable
