About Open in Private Mode
Open in Private Mode is an extension that enables you to open the current tab (active) in a private window.
Simply click on the toolbar button to open the private (or incognito) window. You can also use the context-menu item (right-click) to open the private window. Please note that, if you right-click on a link, the new private window will have the link URL instead of the tab. Moreover, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift + S) to open the active tab in a private window. If you want to open a custom URL in a private window when you click on the toolbar button, please open the options page and add a URL in the designated area.
