With the launch of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge in early 2020, the computer giant is once again regaining the throne it lost many years ago with the arrival of Chrome. It wasn't just the arrival of Google's Chrome that made it lose the crown. Internet Explorer very erratically and it was not compatible with extensions.
More than a decade later, Microsoft adopted Chrome's technology, Cromium, so we can install any extension available on the Chrome Web Store. Thanks to this, many are users who have started using the new Edge.
Edge, like the rest of browsers, offers us the possibility of browsing anonymously on our equipment, a navigation that leaves no trace on our equipment, but on our internet provider. If we do not want to leave a trace in our internet provider, we have to use a VPN, but that's another matter.
Leave no trace on our team It allows us to search and visit web pages on any computer, without the owner of the same knowing that we have used it, which pages we have visited or the searches we have carried out.
If you regularly use Edge's incognito mode to navigate, the best thing you can do is create a shortcut on your desktop to quickly access this option, without first having to open Edge, access the browser options menu, and select New Inprivate sale.
Create a shortcut to Edge's incognito mode
The first thing we must do is create a shortcut on the desktop of our computer by placing the mouse on the desktop, clicking with the right-click and selecting Shortcut.
Next, in the file path we write
- For 32-bit Windows
"% ProgramFiles% \ Microsoft \ Edge \ Application \ msedge.exe" -inprivate -
For 64-bit Windows
"% ProgramFiles (x86)% \ Microsoft \ Edge \ Application \ msedge.exe" -inprivate
The quotes must be included. We just have to copy the displayed text depending on the version of Windows that we have installed on our computer.
