These days we are always logged into Google to get faster access to our Gmail, Picasa, Reader, etc, we stay logged into Google services. It takes too much time for us to log in each time. There are times when we want to do a search or go to a site and not have that be part of our search history. (Google Search history is erasable.) Google Chrome has an Incognito mode where you are not logged into any online services i.e. Google or Facebook. After you visit any site, cookies are deleted and there is no search history. You can get to Incognito Mode easily by launching a new Google Chrome window IN Incognito Mode. However, you might need access to Incognito Mode more often on a daily basis. You can make Incognito Mode run always by default but why would you want to log into your sites everytime you launch your Google Chrome browser. Another way to stay logged into Google and keep other searches private etc, is to launch another brand of browser completely like Safari, IE9, or Firefox and NOT be logged into Google Services. Keep in mind you will still have to clear out cookies locally if your a history neat freak.
Here's how to make a seperate Google Chrome desktop icon for Incognito Mode:
1: Make a NEW desktop shortcut to Google Chrome on your desktop. Go ahead and rename the icon.
2: Right Click the new Google Chrome desktop shortcut and select Properties.
3: In the "Target" box go to the end of the entry where it says chrome.exe and type [-incognito] without the brackets. Click on OK.
That's it! You now can easily launch Google Chrome in Incognito Mode while not messing up your normal browsing experience because you still have your original Chrome to launch. This is what you will see when launching Incognito Mode:
