About Go Private Quickly

Go Private Quickly does one small thing and tries to do it well: it puts a button in your toolbar that opens a new incognito window. Click the icon, you're private. That's the whole idea. I built it because I open incognito windows all day and wanted it to be one click instead of a trip through a menu — and because I wanted something that stayed out of the way and didn't quietly phone home. This one never connects to the internet at all. WHAT YOU GET - One click to a new incognito window, straight from the toolbar. No popup, no menu, nothing to configure. - A toolbar icon that quietly shows whether the window you're in is private: a muted silver mask in a private window, full color everywhere else. - If your browser hasn't allowed GPQ in incognito yet, the click opens a short setup page instead of doing nothing. WHAT IT HONESTLY DOES NOT DO (I'd rather set expectations than oversell) - It's not a VPN. Your network, ISP, employer, or school can still see the sites you visit. - It doesn't hide your IP, block ads or trackers, or make you anonymous. - It doesn't change any browser settings, touch your normal browsing, or clear anything. If you want real anonymity, use Tor. For network privacy, a reputable VPN. For tracker blocking, uBlock Origin. GPQ plays nicely alongside all of them — it just gets you into a private window faster. PRIVACY, FOR REAL - No data collection. None. - No analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting. - Zero network requests — the extension never connects to the internet, period. - One permission: "storage," used only to remember that you've seen the one-time welcome page. There are no settings to store. - No third-party code, no CDNs, no remote scripts. It's open source, so you can read every line. ONE-TIME SETUP By browser security policy, an extension can't switch itself on in incognito windows. The first time you install, a short welcome page walks you through flipping "Allow in Incognito" (on Edge, "Allow in InPrivate"). You only do it once. Works on Chrome and every Chromium browser — Brave, Microsoft Edge, Arc, and Vivaldi all install it from here.
