And it will also disable all the extensions you are using in a standard Google Chrome mode.
That’s because, if you use an extension in incognito mode, Chrome isn’t able to stop it from tracking your activity.
That is against the very essence of the incognito mode.
However, if you want to enable an extension you trust, here is how:
