I have seen some websites that open a terms of service page that is in an incognito tab instead of a new tab or a "_blank". Is there a way to do this with HTML/JavaScript? I can not use a Chrome extension to do this.

EDIT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14BA6qLgd9thqYDZe5OiNxF7JDH9nXrTC/view?usp=sharing Here is a recording for opening incognito. It is a bit weird and does not show the incognito new tab background but I tried downloading an extension, seeing if a search was showing, and looking if cookies would save and none of them did.

  • This seems like it isn't possible: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16148136/how-can-we-open-a-link-in-private-browsing-mode – Michael M. May 04 '23 at 01:21
  • Can you provide an example of a webpage that does this? I've never experienced this kind of behavior. – Michael M. May 04 '23 at 01:22
  • I was connecting to a wifi network (which I do not want to name because of privacy reasons) when it asked me to log in to its network. It asked me to accept its terms of service, which was a clickable link, and the link opened up the terms of service in an incognito tab. – StarrySkies May 04 '23 at 01:27
  • Is it possible that you were already in incognito mode and the window just opened in a new incognito window? – Michael M. May 04 '23 at 01:31
  • No, I am sure I was not. – StarrySkies May 04 '23 at 01:32
  • I can send a recording maybe? Would that help? – StarrySkies May 04 '23 at 01:39
  • Yes, that would be useful to make sure it isn't a bug with Chrome. – Michael M. May 04 '23 at 01:39

  • I can't use a chrome extension to trigger a windows.create. I am trying to do this within the browser. – StarrySkies May 04 '23 at 17:05
