Adding extensions in Incogniton
In this article we will explain how to use Incogniton’s extension manager. By using this functionality you can easily and quickly install browser extensions for your new or existing browser profiles.
Step 1: Go to the Google Chrome webstore to find the desired browser extensions. You can do this through your regular Chrome Browser.
Step 2: Once you have found the extension you want, copy the URL from the toolbar, which is necessary for the extension’s installation later on.
Note! If you want to install multiple extensions in multiple browser profiles, we advise you to copy the URL of the extensions to, for example, Word or text editor. This allows you to work a lot more efficiently.
Step 3: Go to the Incogniton app. Create a new browser profile or edit an existing one and navigate to Extensions in the side bar on the left.
Step 4: Paste the Chrome webstore URL in the link bar and click on Add to profile. Next, click on Update profile or Create profile and the extension will be installed automatically once you launch the browser profile.
Adding extensions for multiple browser profiles
It is also possible to install extensions for multiple browser profiles at the same time.
Step 1: Select the profiles you want to install the extension for in the Profile Management overview.
Step 2: Next, click on Action – Modify – Set browser extensions. Then enter the Chrome webstore URL and click on Add.
Step 3: The browser extension will be displayed in the list below. Select the extension, click on Add selected and then on Save. After that the extension will be installed automatically when the browser profiles are started.
Adding pre-saved extensions
When you use a certain extension several times for your browser profile, it can be more efficient to use a pre-saved extension. This prevents you from having to add the information again and again.
Step 1: Click on Browser Management and go to General Extensions.
Step 2: Next, click on Create extensions, enter the Chrome webstore link, click on Add extension and then on Create extensions.
Step 3: To add the pre-saved extension to a browser profile, click on the 3-bullet icon and then on Edit. Then navigate to Extensions in the left-side menu. Select the extension from the list, click on Add selected and then on Update profile.
Removing an Extension
If you want to remove an extension after a while, you can do this via Remove all or Remove selected. You can decide whether you want to remove all installed extensions or only selected ones.
